Stephenson v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided February 26, 1998
332 Ark. 82; 959 S.W.2d 56; 1998 Ark. LEXIS 117

Stephenson v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant Larry Stephenson, by his attorney Lori A. Mosby, has filed a motion for belated appeal. Mosby admits by motion that the appeal was not timely filed due to a mistake on her 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.
