Whitaker v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Whitaker v. State, 303 Ark. 700 (Ark. 1990)
798 S.W.2d 922; 1990 Ark. LEXIS 540

Whitaker v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Johnny Whitaker, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Don Lloyd Cook II, admits that the record was tendered late 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.
