Howard v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Howard v. State, 342 Ark. 58 (Ark. 2000)
25 S.W.3d 428; 2000 Ark. LEXIS 384
Howard v. State
Opinion of the Court
Jessie James Howard, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.
His attorney, John C. Stratford, 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.
