Jeffers v. State

Jeffers v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided November 13, 1989
300 Ark. 425; 778 S.W.2d 953; 1989 Ark. LEXIS 511

Jeffers v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Donald Jeffers, by his attorney, Anthony J. Sherman, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to his 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.
