Fairow v. State

190 S.W.3d 910, 358 Ark. 365

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided September 9, 2004·No. CR 04-679·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellant Barry Fairow, by and through his attorney, Dennis R. Molock, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Mr. Molock states in the motion that the notice of appeal was not filed in a timely fashion 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.
