Moss v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Moss v. State, 288 Ark. 470 (Ark. 1986)
705 S.W.2d 892; 1986 Ark. LEXIS 1843
Purtle
Moss v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Terry Moss, by his attorney, R. Paul Hughes, III, 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, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
