Mauldin v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Mauldin v. State, 354 Ark. 721 (Ark. 2003)
128 S.W.3d 827; 2003 Ark. LEXIS 595
Mauldin v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant, James Ricky Mauldin, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Attorney, Frank E. Shaw, 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.
