Cite as 2025 Ark. App. 492 ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS DIVISION IV No. CR-24-848

Opinion Delivered October 22, 2025 JEDIAH RYAN HALEY APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE CARROLL COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, V. EASTERN DISTRICT [NO. 08ECR-22-207]

STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE RANDY WRIGHT, APPELLEE JUDGE

REVERSED AND REMANDED

CASEY R. TUCKER, Judge

Jediah Haley appeals the Carroll County Circuit Court’s dismissal of his appeal from

Berryville District Court. He asserts that the circuit court erred in dismissing his appeal

because pursuant to case law interpreting Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 36(c), his

appeal was properly before the court. This is a companion case to case No. 08ECR-22-191

and case No. 08ECR-22-199. Haley filed three separate appeals, and today we hand down

opinions in all three cases. We reverse and remand.

On August 18, 2022, Haley was convicted in Berryville District Court of disorderly

conduct.1 He appealed his conviction to the Carroll County Circuit Court by filing a

certified copy of the district court docket with the circuit court clerk on September 16, 2022.

1 On the same date, Haley was convicted of third-degree battery in 08ECR-22-199 and criminal trespass in 08ECR-22-191. Because the procedural facts, issues, and arguments raised on appeal are the same as those

presented in the companion cases, which we also hand down today, we find it unnecessary

to restate them. This court’s conclusions are set forth in Haley v. State, 2025 Ark. App. 484,

___ S.W.3d ___, and are incorporated herein. Accordingly, we reverse and remand the

dismissal of Haley’s appeal.

Reversed and remanded.

ABRAMSON and VIRDEN, JJ., agree.
