ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION II No. CV-14-951
OPINION DELIVERED SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 BETH’S BAIL BONDS, INC. APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE PULASKI COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, FIFTH DIVISION V. [NO. 60CR-13-2844, 60CV-14-1547]
HONORABLE WENDELL GRIFFEN, STATE OF ARKANSAS JUDGE APPELLEE SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM ORDERED
ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge
Beth’s Bail Bonds, Inc. (BBB), appeals the Pulaski County Circuit Court’s bond-
forfeiture judgment filed April 17, 2014, and the July 11, 2014 order denying BBB’s motion
to set aside the judgment. On appeal, the bonding company contends that (1) the circuit
court was without jurisdiction to enter a judgment; (2) the county attorney’s office had no
authority to demand judgment on behalf of the State; and (3) the circuit court abused its
discretion by not setting aside the bond-forfeiture judgment under Arkansas Rule of Civil
Procedure 60 (2014). We order rebriefing due to an inadequate addendum.
BBB’s third point on appeal asks this court to review the circuit court’s decision to
deny the motion to set aside the bond-forfeiture judgment. This motion was originally filed
on June 11, 2014, and the response was filed on June 18, 2014. An amended motion to set
aside forfeiture judgment and memorandum was filed on June 18, 2014, and the response was Cite as 2015 Ark. App. 493
filed on the same date. The addendum filed within BBB’s appellate brief contains only the
original motion filed June 11, 2014, and the order denying the motion to set aside filed July
11, 2014.
Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i) (2014) provides that, if any pleading to
be included in the addendum was amended, the final version and any earlier version
incorporated therein shall be included. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 4-2(b)(4), we order
BBB to file a supplemental addendum, providing the necessary pleadings, within seven
calendar days from the date of this opinion.
Supplemental addendum ordered.
WHITEAKER and HOOFMAN , JJ., agree.
Charles D. Hancock, for appelant.
Leslie Rutledge, Att’y Gen., by: Vada Berger, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee.
