APPELLEE HONORABLE BRAD KARREN,

RECORD GRANTED.
PER CURIAM
Kent McLemore, attorney for appellant, Zachary Holly, petitions this court under
Ark. Sup.Ct. R. 3-5 to issue a writ of certiorari directing the court reporter, Sharon Fields,
to complete the record in this case. Petitioner states that the court reporter notified him that
she is unable to prepare the record by December 29, 2015, the extended deadline, which
was seven months from the date of the entry of the judgment. Attorney McLemore filed
this petition prior to the record’s due date asking this court to issue a writ of certiorari
directing the court reporter to complete the record. Petitioner filed a partial record on
November 4, 2015. Arkansas Rule of Appellate Procedure–Civil 5(b)(2) states, “In no event
shall the time be extended more than seven (7) months from the date of the entry of the
judgment or order . . . .”
We issue the writ of certiorari directing Ms. Sharon Fields to complete the record in
this matter within thirty days from the date of this order. The Supreme Court Clerk is

Examiners for any action it may deem appropriate under its rules. See Epps v. State, 338 Ark.
