Matthews v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided October 10, 1994
318 Ark. 232; 884 S.W.2d 264; 1994 Ark. LEXIS 534

Matthews v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

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.
