Dirickson v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided April 20, 2000
341 Ark. 149; 14 S.W.3d 524; 2000 Ark. LEXIS 184

Dirickson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Albert Allen Dirickson, by and through AM. attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Norman G. Cox, admits by motion that the appeal was not timely filed 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.
