Adkins v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided May 8, 2003
353 Ark. 154; 113 S.W.3d 624; 2003 Ark. LEXIS 248

Adkins v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Perry Lamar Adkins, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Gary Kennan, states in his 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).

Therefore, the motion is granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
