Quick v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Quick v. State, 315 Ark. 540 (Ark. 1994)
868 S.W.2d 488; 1994 Ark. LEXIS 212

Quick v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam:

The appellant, Jimmy Don Quick, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Thurman Ragar, admits that the failure to file the record within the prescribed time was due to a mistake on his part.

We hold that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam 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.
