Jordan v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Jordan v. State, 323 Ark. 616 (Ark. 1996)
916 S.W.2d 732; 1996 Ark. LEXIS 139
Jordan v. State
Opinion of the Court
The appellant, George Jordan, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, Henry C. Morris, 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.
