Fretwell v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Fretwell v. State, 298 Ark. 143 (Ark. 1989)
765 S.W.2d 576; 1989 Ark. LEXIS 169

Fretwell v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Dorenda Fretwell, by her attorney, Jack M. Lewis, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Her attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part in posting the filing date on his calendar.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
