Rockett v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Rockett v. State, 317 Ark. 643 (Ark. 1994)
883 S.W.2d 454; 1994 Ark. LEXIS 452
Rockett v. State
Opinion of the Court
Robert L. Rockett, III and Terrick T. Nooner, by their attorney, have filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. We treat this motion for rule on the clerk as a motion for belated appeal. Their attorney, Joe Kelly Hardin, admits by motion that the record was filed two days before the judgment was entered 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 In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
