Antonio Deshun Sartin v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court held that, in a criminal direct appeal, a no-merit brief must address every adverse ruling made by the circuit court. A single omission violates the governing briefing rule and requires rebriefing, even if the omitted ruling might not independently support reversal. The court distinguished more flexible treatment in termination-of-parental-rights appeals and remanded for rebriefing; no separate opinions were filed.
