Supreme Court of Arkansas, 2004

Gately v. State

Gately v. State
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided June 10, 2004
357 Ark. 648; 187 S.W.3d 856; 2004 Ark. LEXIS 381

Gately v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

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.
