Phillips v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Phillips v. State, 329 Ark. 498 (Ark. 1997)
949 S.W.2d 894; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 475

Phillips v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Michael S. Phillips, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Joel O. Huggins, 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.
