Troup v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Troup v. State, 348 Ark. 458 (Ark. 2002)
74 S.W.3d 205; 2002 Ark. LEXIS 258

Troup v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Harold Troup, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. Attorney Bart Ziegenhorn 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.
