Patrick v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Patrick v. State, 355 Ark. 390 (Ark. 2003)
138 S.W.3d 687; 2003 Ark. LEXIS 676
Patrick v. State
Opinion of the Court
Eddie Lee Patrick, Jr., by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Donald E. Warren, Sr., admits in his motion that the record was tendered more than seven months beyond the date of judgment due to a mistake on his part.
We find that such an error, admittedly made by the 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 for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
