Washington v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Washington v. State, 274 Ark. 538 (Ark. 1982)
626 S.W.2d 361; 1982 Ark. LEXIS 1224
Washington v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Larry Donnell Washington, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Richard W. Byrd, admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5,1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
Justice Purtle would grant the motion finding no fault on the part of counsel.
