Arnold v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided September 9, 1996
325 Ark. 444; 926 S.W.2d 665; 1996 Ark. LEXIS 441

Arnold v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Rocky W Arnold, by his attorney, Keith Watkins, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. Mr. Watkins admits by 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.
