Matthews v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Matthews v. State, 303 Ark. 207 (Ark. 1990)
793 S.W.2d 793; 1990 Ark. LEXIS 394

Matthews v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Nathan T. Matthews, by his attorney, Callis L. Childs, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

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.
