Smith v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided April 9, 1998
332 Ark. 515; 962 S.W.2d 813; 1998 Ark. LEXIS 216

Smith v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant Jason Mark Smith, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Joel O. Huggins, states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by an 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.
