Forrest v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Forrest v. State, 330 Ark. 710 (Ark. 1997)
955 S.W.2d 187; 1997 Ark. LEXIS 687
Forrest v. State
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner, Mikey Dale Forrest, by his attorney, Greg Robinson, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record in this case was tendered late due to a mistake 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 Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); 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. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
