Johnson v. State

959 S.W.2d 54, 332 Ark. 78, 1998 Ark. App. LEXIS 553
Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided February 26, 1998·No. CA CR 97-1444·Published·Cited by 5 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Dirk Johnson, by his attorney, Norman M. Smith, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney admits that he failed to file the notice of appeal on time.

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, 295 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.
