Williams v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Williams v. State, 299 Ark. 90 (Ark. 1989)
770 S.W.2d 666; 1989 Ark. LEXIS 262

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, James Edward Williams, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Bob Keeter, 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, 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.
