Willett v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Willett v. State, 287 Ark. 490 (Ark. 1985)
700 S.W.2d 373; 1985 Ark. LEXIS 2308
Purtle

Willett v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Peggy Willett, by her attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

Her attorney, Jerry D. Pruitt, 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.
