Neal v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided October 31, 2002
350 Ark. 458; 88 S.W.3d 426; 2002 Ark. LEXIS 552

Neal v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant James Neal, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Claudell Woods, 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.
