Burton v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Burton v. State, 322 Ark. 816 (Ark. 1995)
912 S.W.2d 11; 1995 Ark. LEXIS 736
Burton v. State
Opinion of the Court
Willie Burton, Jr., by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Marc Honey, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late 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 In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
