Elizabeth Roberts Force v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The dissent disagrees with the majority's decision to affirm because the appellate record lacked the original criminal judgment imposing the fines. It reasons that Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2 abolished summary affirmance for briefing deficiencies and requires the court to give the appellant an opportunity to cure the omission. The dissent would therefore decline to reach the merits and order the appellant to correct the deficiency.
