Gately v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Gately v. State, 357 Ark. 648 (Ark. 2004)
187 S.W.3d 856; 2004 Ark. LEXIS 381
Gately v. State
Opinion of the Court
Helen Marie Gately, by and through her attorney, am. filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.
Her attorney, John R. VanWinkle, admits 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 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 is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
