Griffin v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Griffin v. State, 329 Ark. 493 (Ark. 1997)
949 S.W.2d 892; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 474

Griffin v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Melvin Griffin, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, Claudell Woods, 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.
