Pennington v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Pennington v. State, 347 Ark. 368 (Ark. 2002)
64 S.W.3d 708; 2002 Ark. LEXIS 1; 2002 WL 27101
Imber, Ler

Pennington v. State

Opinion of the Court

P lER CURIAM.

Appellant Tony Pennington, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Attorney, James O. Cox, states in the motion that the record was tendered late 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.

IMBER, J., not participating.
