Townsend v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Townsend v. State, 290 Ark. 314 (Ark. 1986)
718 S.W.2d 111
Townsend v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Buddy J. Townsend, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Jeff Duty, 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.
A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
