Moore v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Moore v. State, 334 Ark. 39 (Ark. 1998)
970 S.W.2d 299; 1998 Ark. LEXIS 426
Moore v. State
Opinion of the Court
George Mitchell Moore, by his attorney, has filed a motion to file belated appeal.
His attorney, John R. Irwin, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
We find an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion, which we shall treat as a motion for rule on the clerk. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
The motion for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
