Welch v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Welch v. State, 314 Ark. 412 (Ark. 1993)
868 S.W.2d 32; 1993 Ark. LEXIS 546

Welch v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The appellant, Jimmy Dean Welch, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Phil Kinsey, 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 February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.

The motion is therefore granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
