COURT COMMITTEE ON
PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE
PETITIONER PORTABLE DOCUMENT FORMAT
(PDF) COPIES OF THE
V. RECORDING IN LIEU OF
ABSTRACT
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.
Cite as
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.
