JEANNIE SHERMAN APPELLANT v. RAYMOND BOECKMANN APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE CROSS COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NO. 19-DR-12-81-4]
HONORABLE KATHLEEN BELL, JUDGE SUBSTITUTED OPINION SUPPLEMENTATION ORDERED BRANDON J. HARRISON, Judge
Jeannie Sherman and Raymond Boeckmann were divorced by order of the Cross County Circuit Court in September 2013. Sherman appeals from the circuit court's order finding her in contempt for misuse of marital funds. Due to briefing deficiencies, we order supplementation of the abstract and addendum.
This case was originally handed down in a combined opinion with CV-14-353. We are now issuing two separate opinions for CV-14-353 and CV-14-1096.
This appeal concerns multiple hearings and petitions for contempt filed by Boeckmann. We note that one hearing in particular, conducted on 25 November 2013, has not been abstracted, and two of Boeckmann's contempt petitions, filed 29 October 2013 and 20 November 2013, are not included in the addendum. We also note that the transcript for the November 25 hearing and these two petitions are not included in the record; however, both the November 25 hearing transcript and the petitions have been tendered to this court by motion. Under these unique circumstances, we hereby deem the record in CV-14-1096 supplemented with both the November 25 transcript and the October 25 and November 20 petitions for contempt. With the record now supplemented, we order Sherman to provide this court with a supplemental abstract of the November 25 hearing and a supplemental addendum that includes the two petitions within fifteen days of this opinion pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(3). Boeckmann will then have the opportunity to revise or supplement his brief. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(3).
The November 25 hearing transcript was tendered to this court on 27 August 2014, under case number CV-14-393; the contempt petitions were tendered to this court on 25 February 2015 under case number CV-14-1096. The court denied the motions previously. That was a mistake, as they should have been granted. The court apologizes for any inconvenience to the parties related to those denials. --------
Supplementation ordered.
ABRAMSON and BROWN, JJ., agree.
