ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION PER CURIAM DECEMBER 13, 2001 ALMOND C. LEWIS, JR. Petitioner v. STATE OF ARKANSAS Respondent CR 01-112 PRO SE MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK TO LODGE APPEAL WITHOUT RECORD [CIRCUIT COURT OF SALINE COUNTY, NO. CR 98-238-2] MOTION DISMISSED Almond C. Lewis, Jr. filed a motion for rule on clerk seeking leave to lodge an appeal here without the certified record of the proceedings in the trial court. Petitioner Almond stated in the motion that the trial court denied his petition for postconviction relief pursuant to Criminal Procedure Rule 37 and that he had been unable to obtain the appeal record from the circuit clerk. It could not be ascertained from the motion whether petitioner filed a timely notice of appeal. On March 29, 2001, we dismissed the motion in a per curiam opinion that was not designated for publication. On October 29, 2001, petitioner filed the instant motion for reconsideration. The motion for reconsideration is also dismissed. As we said when the original motion was dismissed, in cases in which the jurisdiction of this court is appellate in nature as with appeals from postconviction orders, it is the certified record of the trial court proceedings that provides the basis on which this court can assume jurisdiction of the matter; therefore, at least a certified partial record is required to perfect an appeal. Motion dismissed. Imber, J., not participating.
