Lumpkin v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Lumpkin v. State, 355 Ark. 677 (Ark. 2004)
144 S.W.3d 281; 2004 Ark. LEXIS 56

Lumpkin v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant James Lumpkin, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, Don Etherly, 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.
