Jacobs v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Jacobs v. State, 292 Ark. 147 (Ark. 1987)
728 S.W.2d 192; 1987 Ark. LEXIS 2070
Jacobs v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Lee Duane Jacobs, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Naif Samuel Khoury, 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.
