Supreme Court of Arkansas, 1994

Oliver v. State

Oliver v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided February 21, 1994
316 Ark. 97; 871 S.W.2d 332; 1994 Ark. LEXIS 113

Oliver v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The appellant, Timothy Allen Oliver, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, Ms. Dana A. Reece, admits that the failure to file the record in time was due to a mistake on her 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.
