Abbott v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Abbott v. State, 335 Ark. 72 (Ark. 1998)
977 S.W.2d 668; 1998 Ark. LEXIS 585

Abbott v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Leslie Ray Abbott, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Michael W. Langley, 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. 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.
