Burton v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided May 14, 1984
282 Ark. 417; 669 S.W.2d 1; 1984 Ark. LEXIS 1664

Burton v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Donald Ray Burton, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, James W. Haddock, 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.

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