Supreme Court of Arkansas, 1997

Covin v. State

Covin v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided September 25, 1997
329 Ark. 635; 950 S.W.2d 462; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 508

Covin v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The appellant’s attorney, James R. Marschewski, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. The attorney, James R. Marschewski, admits that the transcript was untimely filed due to negligence on his part.

We find that such 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). A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
