HyperCite® autonomously transforms a brief, motion, or other appellate court document's citations to the Record on Appeal and items filed in the Court of Appeals into hyperlinks. All HyperCite® requires to achieve this result is the parent document (breif, motion, or etc.) and the case number.
Hyperlink citations quickly with automation to comply with the court's hyperlinking requirement without the stress and time of manual linking, and even hyperlink your oral argument notes.
Appellant Clinton Quin was convicted of two counts of aggravated assault for an incident in which he commanded his four dogs to attack a bicyclist. (R.O.A. 59.) The evidence at trial established the following facts, viewed in the light most favorable to support his convictions. (See State v. Tamplin, 195 Ariz. 246, 246, ¶ 2 (App. 1999)
On May 27, 2017, Andrew Rudie was riding his bicycle on a dirt path in Tucson when he encountered Quin and his four dogs. (Id.; R.T. 10/2/18, at 28–31, 56.) The dogs were not leashed and Rudie thought that Quin did not have them under control. (COA-Id. at 32–33.) Quin had his hand up, so Rudie stopped approximately 30 feet away. (COA-Id. at 32.)
Rudie raised his hand, ready to strike Quin, but did not hit him. (R.T. 10/2/18 at 34.) Rudie decided to leave the area, and asked Quin to keep his dogs away from him. (COA-Id. at 35–36.) Instead, Quin yelled “Get him.” (COA-Id. at 36.) All four dogs then bit Rudie. (COA-Id; see also, O.B. ep. 10-11, 12.)
After a 2-day trial, a jury found Quin guilty of aggravated assault, (R.T. 10/3/18 p.m., at 49–50; R.O.A. 54, 55, 57, 59.) After finding that Quin had two prior felony convictions, the trial court sentenced him as a repetitive offender. (R.T. 11/20/18, at 7; R.O.A. 75.) Quin filed a timely notice of appeal. (R.O.A. 77, 78.) This Court has jurisdiction. Article VI, Section 9, and Arizona Revised Statutes §§ 12–120.21(A)(1), 13–4031, and –4033(A)
When writing, cite to the ROA, transcripts, prior briefing, and etc. as the court requests. When you repeat one of those cites, write “COA-Id.” instead of just “Id.”Continue to use Id. for repeat citations to items outside the Court's docket, like cases and statutes.
