APPEAL FROM THE POPE

COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT

[NO. CV-2013-201] 

HONORABLE WILLIAM M. 

PEARSON, JUDGE 

REBRIEFING ORDERED 

PER CURIAM

Liberty Bank of Arkansas (the bank), as trustee of the Vernon E. Arnold 

Revocable Trust (the trust), appeals from the order of the Pope County Circuit Court 

imposing a constructive trust on the trust’s assets in favor of appellee Clyde Byrd. 

Byrd cross-appeals from the circuit court’s award of attorney’s fees to the bank from 

assets subject to the constructive trust. We do not reach the merits of the appeal and, 

instead, order rebriefing because of both parties’ lack of compliance with 

Administrative Order No. 19.

Administrative Order No. 19 pertains to access to court records, and Arkansas 

Supreme Court Rule 4-1(d) requires compliance with its protective requirements for 

confidential information. Section VII(A) of Administrative Order No. 19 details the 

information to be excluded from public access and deemed confidential absent a court 

order to the contrary. Such information includes Social Security numbers and account 

numbers of specific assets, liabilities, accounts, credit cards, and personal identification 

numbers. Ark. Sup. Ct. Admin. Order No. 19 (VII)(A)(4) & (5).

Both parties indicated in their informational statements that this appeal involves 

confidential information as defined by section (III)(A)(11) and (VII)(A) of 

Administrative Order No. 19. Further, both parties certified that they have complied 

with Administrative Order No. 19. However, there are several instances where full 

bank account numbers and Social Security numbers are not redacted. For example, 

there is one exhibit that consists of unredacted bank statements over a period of 

several years. There are several tax returns included in the addendum. Most have the 

parties’ Social Security numbers redacted; however, there are at least two sets that are 

not redacted. Also, the circuit court’s final order, as well as an amendatory order, sets 

out full account numbers. Byrd’s brief on cross-appeal contains a twenty-five page 

summary of transactions. Although the account number is redacted at the top of each 

page, some of the transactions reference Edward Jones accounts with the account 

number not redacted.

We recently ordered rebriefing in a similar situation. Cummings v. Cummings, 

2015 Ark. App. 517. We noted that, with the benefit of technological advances, the 

failure to redact is particularly egregious because our records are available online and 

easily accessible by the public, potentially leading to the abuse of the parties’ 

confidential information.

As in Cummings, we order rebriefing. The parties are directed to file redacted 

briefs in compliance with Administrative Order No. 19 within fifteen days from the 

date of this per curiam.
