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
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.
