ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION April 8, 2004 WALTER B. FARVER Petitioner v. HONORABLE FRED DAVIS, JUDGE Respondent CR 04-107 PRO SE MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK TO FILE PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS AND PETITION FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION WITHOUT RECORD [CIRCUIT COURT OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, NO. 93-700] MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK DISMISSED Per Curiam Walter B. Farver tendered to this court a petition for writ of mandamus and petition for writ of prohibition, contending that the Honorable Fred Davis, a circuit judge in Jefferson County, had failed to perform some duty with respect to a pleading Farver had tendered to the Circuit Court of Jefferson County. Farver subsequently filed the instant motion seeking to file the mandamus and prohibition actions without the certified record required by this court to file such pleadings. Our Rule 6-1(a) provides that in cases in which the jurisdiction of this court is in fact appellate, although in form original, such as petitions for writs of prohibition, certiorari, or mandamus, the pleadings with certified exhibits from the trial court are treated as the record. Jackson v. Tucker, 325 Ark. 318, 927 S.W.2d 336 (1996). Without this certified record, there is no basis on which this court can assume jurisdiction of a matter. Accordingly, the motion for rule on clerk is dismissed. Motion for rule on clerk dismissed.
