Haney v. State

637 S.W.2d 596, 276 Ark. 595, 1982 Ark. LEXIS 1482

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided July 19, 1982·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Melvin Glenn Haney, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued June 28, 1982, we denied a similar motion.

His attorney, Harold W. Madden, has attached an affidavit admitting 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 our Per Curiam dated February 5, 1969, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
