Smith v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided May 3, 1982
276 Ark. 55; 631 S.W.2d 835; 1982 Ark. LEXIS 1360

Smith v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Gardner Smith, Jr., by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Charles P. Allen, has attached an affidavit admitting 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.
