LACRESHA N. PUGH-HAYES

APPELLANT

V.

STATE OF ARKANSAS

APPELLEE

OPINION DELIVERED JUNE 22, 2016

APPEAL FROM THE BRADLEY 

COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, 

[NO. CR-2005-82-1] 

HONORABLE SAM POPE, 

JUDGE

REBRIEFING ORDERED

ROBERT J. GLADWIN, Chief Judge

On September 11, 2006, in the Bradley County Circuit Court, appellant Lacresha 

Pugh-Hayes pled guilty to violating the Arkansas hot check law. She was granted probation 

for a period of ten years, with five years supervised and five years unsupervised. Appellant 

was charged with committing the offense of third degree domestic battery on or about 

March 6, 2014. On August 25, 2014, appellant again appeared before the Bradley County 

Circuit Court and pled guilty to the domestic-battery charge. Her sentencing was deferred 

for twelve months, with the term ending on August 25, 2015, if she strictly complied with 

the ordered conditions. 

The State initially filed a petition to revoke on September 4, 2012, alleging that 

appellant was in violation because she failed to report as required; failed to pay supervision 

fees; failed to pay court costs; and failed to pay restitution. An order to show cause was

issued the same day. On August 28, 2014, the trial court rescinded the order to show cause 

and allowed appellant to continue making payments. 

The State filed new petitions to revoke with amended violation reports on February 

12, April 2, and May 22, 2015. The hearing on July 20, 2015, was the final hearing regarding 

allegations of violating her probation terms. On July 20, 2015, the trial court found that 

appellant was in violation of the probation terms, revoked her probation, and sentenced 

appellant to six years in the Arkansas Department of Correction. 

Pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and Rule 4-3(k) of the Rules 

of the Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, Hayes’s counsel filed a motion to 

withdraw, arguing that an appeal in this case is wholly without merit. This type of motion 

must be accompanied by an abstract and a brief referring to everything in the record that 

might arguably support an appeal, including all motions, objections, and requests decided 

adversely to appellant, as well as a statement of reasons why none of those rulings would be 

a meritorious ground for reversal. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-3(k). Hayes was provided with a copy 

of her counsel’s brief and was notified of her right to file a list of points on appeal within 

thirty days, but she has not done so.

Hayes’s counsel states in her brief that there were only two adverse rulings at the 

revocation hearing—the revocation itself and appellant’s request for two weeks to surrender 

into custody. However, our review of the record reveals that appellant filed multiple 

pleadings pro se subsequent to the revocation hearing that were neither ruled on by the 

circuit court nor addressed by Hayes’s counsel. Based on these omissions, we order 

rebriefing in accordance with Anders, supra, and Rule 4-3(k).

Additionally, we note that these postrevocation pleadings, which include a motion 

for rehearing, a motion for release on bond for emergency consideration, and a motion for 

discovery are not included in the addendum. Rule 4-2(a)(8) (2015) of the Arkansas Supreme 

Court and Court of Appeals requires that an addendum contain all the relevant orders, 

pleadings, documents, and exhibits in the record that are essential to an understanding of 

the case.

Based on the above, we order rebriefing and allow Hayes’s counsel thirty additional 

days in which to file a substituted brief, abstract, and addendum to cure any and all 

deficiencies. Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(b)(3).

 Rebriefing ordered. 

 HOOFMAN and BROWN, JJ., agree. 

Margo D. Warner, for appellant. 

No response.
