Jones v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Jones v. State, 356 Ark. 218 (Ark. 2004)
147 S.W.3d 690; 2004 Ark. LEXIS 108

Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant Emmitt Jones, by his attorney, William M. Howard, Jr., has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Mr. Howard admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
