We held held a number of times that such things will be granted in a civil case only upon a showing of substantial merit. Patterson v. Smith, 289 Ark. 564, 712 S.W.2d 922 (1986); Williams v. State, 289 Ark. 567, 712 S.W.2d 924 (1986); Hayes v. Lockhart, 288 Ark. 419, 706 S.W.2d 179 (1986); Glick v. Lockhart, 288 Ark. 417, 706 S.W.2d 178 (1986).\nNo such showing has been made in this case and the motion, \u2022therefore, is denied.\nIT IS SO ORDERED.\nPurtle, J., dissents.",

He appears pro se and in forma pauperis. As an inmate in the Arkansas Department of Correction, he has neither the funds nor the opportunity to comply with our rules \u2014 unless the state reproduces his brief and abstract as requested.\nIn no case could it be made more plain that a person has been denied equal protection and due process because he is poor.
