To date the record has not been filed in this court. Attorney for the appellant has filed a motion for enlargement of time to file appellant's brief, which is granted, until the record has been completed and filed in this court, at which time the clerk shall set a new briefing schedule.

The Pulaski County Circuit Court, Fifth Division, is ordered forthwith to take whatever actions are necessary to secure the prompt certification of a full and complete transcript of the record in this case. Ark. R. App. P. 6(d) and (e) (2000); In re: Retention Schedule for Official Court Reporter Records Retention Schedule, 322 Ark. 827, 926 S.W.2d 689 (1995) (Part 3.
