323 Ark. 235; 913 S.W.2d 305; 1996 Ark. LEXIS 52

Byrd v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Michael Wayne Byrd, by his attorney, Scott E. Smith, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam); Harkness v. State, 264 Ark. 561, 572 S.W.2d 835 (1978).

A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
