Supreme Court of Arkansas, 1982

Haney v. State

Haney v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided July 19, 1982
276 Ark. 595; 637 S.W.2d 596; 1982 Ark. LEXIS 1482

Haney v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Melvin Glenn Haney, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued June 28, 1982, we denied a similar motion.

His attorney, Harold W. Madden, 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 dated February 5, 1969, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
