C & L ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE                         HONORABLE ROBERT BYNUM
                     APPELLEE                      GIBSON, JR., JUDGE

                                                   SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM
                                                   ORDERED

                               BILL H. WALMSLEY, Judge

       Appellant Alvester Bingham appeals from the trial court’s order granting appellee C&L

Electric Cooperative’s motion for summary judgment. Due to deficiencies in appellant’s

addendum, we cannot reach the merits of the appeal. Neither appellant’s complaint nor

appellee’s answer or amended and substituted answer were included in appellant’s addendum.

       Arkansas Supreme Court Rule 4-2(a)(8) requires the addendum to contain documents

in the record on appeal that are essential for the appellate court to confirm its jurisdiction, to

understand the case, and to decide the issues on appeal. The addendum must include the

pleadings on which the circuit court decided each issue, including the complaint and answer.

Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 4-2(a)(8)(A)(i). Therefore, pursuant to Rule 4-2(b)(4), we order appellant

to file a supplemental addendum within seven calendar days to provide the necessary

pleadings.

       Supplemental addendum ordered.

       HARRISON and GRUBER, JJ., agree.

       Jack R. Kearney, for appellant.

       Friday, Eldredge and Clark, LLP, by: James C. Baker and Kimberly D. Young, for

appellee.
