Vaughan v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided May 28, 1991
305 Ark. 555; 810 S.W.2d 327; 1991 Ark. LEXIS 292

Vaughan v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Ricky Samuel Vaughan, by his attorney, William Isaacs, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to his failure to timely file the record in this court. See Ark. R. App. P. 5(a).

We find that such failure, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our per curiam dated February 5, 1979, 265 Ark. 964; Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243 (1981).

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
