Johnson v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Johnson v. State, 290 Ark. 264 (Ark. 1986)
718 S.W.2d 110; 1986 Ark. LEXIS 2164

Johnson v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Early Johnson, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, John R. Henry, admits that the notice of appeal was not timely given 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.
