Swanigan v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Swanigan v. State, 350 Ark. 459 (Ark. 2002)
88 S.W.3d 425; 2002 Ark. LEXIS 542
Swanigan v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant Steven Swanigan, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, T. Clay Janske, 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.
