Appellee

CR 00-697

PRO SE MOTIONS TO SUPPLEMENT RECORD AND ABSTRACT [CIRCUIT COURT OF SEBASTIAN COUNTY, FORT SMITH DISTRICT, NO. CR 96-358(I)]

MOTIONS MOOT

In 1998, John Lee Huddleston was found guilty by a jury of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was sentenced as a habitual offender to life plus ten years' imprisonment. We affirmed. Huddleston v. State , 329 Ark. 266, 5 S.W.3d 46 (1999). Huddleston subsequently filed in the trial court a timely petition pursuant to Criminal Procedure Rule 37 seeking to vacate the judgment. The petition was denied, and the record on appeal from the order has been lodged here.

Appellant Huddleston was granted access to the transcript of his trial and the record in this appeal to prepare a substituted brief, which was due here March 27, 2001. Huddleston v. State, CR 00-697 (February 15, 2001). The transcript and record were mailed to appellant by our clerk with instructions to return them when he completed his use of them. On March 16, 2001, appellant submitted another motion to supplement the abstract and another motion to supplement the record that were not filed until March 20, 2001, due to a clerical error. On March 19, 2001, the transcript and record were returned by appellant. As the motions essentially repeat the earlier requests for access to the transcript and record which were granted, the motions are moot. Appellant is directed to submit his substituted brief within fourteen days of the date of this opinion.

Motions moot.
