Wright v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided September 9, 1985 · Purtle
286 Ark. 486; 696 S.W.2d 306; 1985 Ark. LEXIS 2208

Wright v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Carleton C. Wright, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Kenneth C. Fuchs, 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.

Purtle, J., not participating.
