Simpson v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Simpson v. State, 345 Ark. 575 (Ark. 2001)
48 S.W.3d 533; 2001 Ark. LEXIS 436

Simpson v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Dominic Simpson, by his attorney Mark S. Fraiser, Chief Public Defender, Garland County Public Defender’s Office, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in. Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
