Allen v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Allen v. State, 329 Ark. 566 (Ark. 1997)
950 S.W.2d 220; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 490
Allen v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, Randy Allen, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. We treat this motion as a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Stuart Vess, 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.
