Styles v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided March 25, 1985
285 Ark. 324; 685 S.W.2d 813; 1985 Ark. LEXIS 1899

Styles v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Leamon Styles, by his attorney, William R. Wilson, Jr., has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.

The motion admits that the record was not timely filed and it was no fault of the appellant. His attorney 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.
