BUFFORD McDONALD

Appellant

v.

STATE OF ARKANSAS

Appellee

CR 00-710

PRO SE MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTIONS TO FILE HANDWRITTEN BRIEF and TO SUBMIT ONLY ONE COPY OF BRIEF and PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI [CIRCUIT COURT OF POPE COUNTY, NO. CR 98-104, HON. JOHN S. PATTERSON, JUDGE]

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION MOOT

On December 1, 1999, judgment was entered reflecting that Bufford McDonald had pleaded guilty to rape and been sentenced to 240 months' imprisonment. After McDonald filed a petition to correct the judgment, an amended judgment was entered on December 8, 1999, reflecting that McDonald had instead entered a plea of nolo-contendere. McDonald subsequently filed a timely petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Criminal Procedure Rule 37 in the trial court seeking to withdraw the plea. The petition was denied, and the record on appeal from that order has been lodged here.

Appellant McDonald sought permission by motion to file a handwritten brief and leave to submit only one copy of the appellant's brief rather than the seventeen copies required by our rules. He also asked that a writ of certiorari be issued to add to the record testimony that he alleged was deliberately omitted from the record because it was favorable to him. We denied the requests. McDonald v. State, CR 00-710 (November 30, 2000). Appellant then filed the instantmotion for reconsideration which pertains to the requirement that appellant submit seventeen typewritten copies of the brief.

The motion for reconsideration is moot. Appellant filed seventeen typewritten copies of the brief in a timely manner on January 3, 2001.

Motion for reconsideration moot.
