Abstract: Let $R$ be a ring with $1$ and $J(R)$ its Jacobson radical. Then $1+J(R)$ is a normal subgroup of the group of units, $G(R)$. The existence of a complement to this subgroup was explored in a paper by Coleman and Easdown; in particular the ring $$ was considered. We prove the remaining cases to determine for which $n$, $p$ and $k$ a complement exists in this ring.
