Manning v. State

Manning v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided February 17, 1997
327 Ark. 380; 937 S.W.2d 185; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 81

Manning v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Clarence Manning, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Chris Jester, admits in his motion that the record was tendered 48 days 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.
