Everett L. KING v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 96-165                                          ___ S.W.2d ___

                    Supreme Court of Arkansas
                 Opinion delivered July 8, 1996


1.   Appeal & error -- court does not presume error simply because
     an appeal is made -- appellant has burden of bringing up
     record sufficient to demonstrate error. -- A summary of the
     pleadings and the judgment appealed from are the bare
     essentials of an abstract; the court does not presume error
     simply because an appeal is made; it is the appellant's burden
     to produce a record sufficient to demonstrate error; the
     record on appeal is confined to that which is abstracted;
     there is only one transcript, there are seven judges on the
     supreme court, and it is impossible for each of the seven
     judges to examine the one transcript; the court will not
     explore the record for prejudicial error except in death or
     life-imprisonment cases where a motion, objection, or request
     on the point at issue was made before the trial judge.

2.   Appeal & error -- abstract flagrantly deficient -- issues not
     considered. -- Appellant's failure to abstract the order
     appealed from and other critical documents precluded the
     supreme court from considering issues concerning them; the
     trial court's judgment was affirmed.

affirmed.
     John R. Hudson, for appellant.
     Winston Bryant, Att'y Gen., by:  Clint Miller, Deputy Att'y
Gen., Sr. Appellate Advocate, for appellee.
