JOHN SKYLAR (SKY) TAPP
                     RESPONDENT
                                                 MOTION GRANTED.

                                       PER CURIAM

        John Skylar “Sky” Tapp, through his attorney, Jeff Rosenzweig, has filed a motion

 “to substitute portable document format (PDF) copies of the record in lieu of an abstract.”

 In his motion, Tapp states that his disbarment case has produced a record of twenty-seven

 volumes, seventeen of which consist of testimony and three of which contain evidentiary

 depositions. Tapp maintains that this court’s abstracting requirement, see Arkansas Supreme

 Court Rule 4-2(a)(5) (2015), would cause considerable hardship to him and his counsel

 because of the inordinate amount of time and cost associated with the abstracting process.

    We grant Tapp’s motion with the following requirements imposed:

    1. The documents must be in PDF format.

    2. The documents must be internally searchable via Optical Character Recognition

        (OCR) that is included in Adobe Acrobat.

  3. The documents must contain a table of contents, with sections that are internally

     hyperlinked to their respective places in the document.

  Any further questions by the parties should be directed to our clerk for clarification or

amendment.

  It is so ordered.
