Johnson v. State
Johnson v. State
290 Ark. 264; 718 S.W.2d 110; 1986 Ark. LEXIS 2164
Johnson v. State
Opinion of the Court
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.
