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
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.
