Mathis v. State

17 S.W.3d 499, 341 Ark. 524, 2000 Ark. LEXIS 277

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided June 1, 2000·No. CR 00-551·Published

Opinion

PER Curiam.

Appellant Arley David Mathis, by and through am. attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Robert Scott Parks, states in the motion that the order extending time for filing the record was entered late 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.
