Finley v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Finley v. State, 293 Ark. 546 (Ark. 1987)
739 S.W.2d 166; 1987 Ark. LEXIS 2478

Finley v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per curiam.

Appellant, Neil S. Finley, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Larry Dean Kissee, admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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 5,1919, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
