Matthews v. State
Matthews v. State
318 Ark. 232; 884 S.W.2d 264; 1994 Ark. LEXIS 534
Matthews v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Shirley Matthews, by her attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
Her attorney, Phillip Crego, 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. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
