Motion to Supplement the Record; Remanded to Trial Court to Settle the Record.

Jim Clark Law Firm, by: Jim Clark, for appellant.

No response.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Patricia Louise Finch, filed a motion to supplement the record in the above case. Appellant has filed a partial transcript, but seeks to supplement the record with affidavits of the deputy prosecuting attorney and appellant’s attorney. Appellant states that these affidavits show that a motion to exclude the attorney, whose assistance was at issue in the Rule 37 hearing, from court during appellant’s testimony was made in chambers; and appellant’s attorney concedes error in his affidavit regarding the failure to renew this motion for the record when the hearing began.

[1] We remand the matter back to the trial court to settle the record in accordance with Ark. R. App. P. Civ. — 6(d), made applicable to criminal proceedings pursuant to Ark. R. App. P. Crim. — 5(a). West v. State, 322 Ark. 114, 907 S.W.2d 133 (1995)
