Rucker v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Rucker v. State, 310 Ark. 212 (Ark. 1992)
831 S.W.2d 614; 1992 Ark. LEXIS 467
Rucker v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Jerry Rucker, by his attorney has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, R. Brent Crews, admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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 Februry 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.
