Jackson v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided May 5, 1986 · Purtle
289 Ark. 25; 709 S.W.2d 400; 1986 Ark. LEXIS 1888

Jackson v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Michael B. Jackson, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Donald K. Campbell, III, 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.
