Summers v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Summers v. State, 298 Ark. 605 (Ark. 1989)
771 S.W.2d 16; 1989 Ark. LEXIS 227

Summers v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Charles Summers, by his attorney, Lynn F. Plemmons, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to miscalculation of the ninety-day limit for filing the record in this Court. See Ark. R. App. P. 5(a).

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See per curiam dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964; Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981).

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
