97 S.W.3d 418, 351 Ark. 674, 2003 Ark. LEXIS 67

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided February 6, 2003·No. CR 03-55·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellant Richard Harold Maxwell, by and through his attorney, David L. Chambers, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Mr. Chambers, states in the motion that his motion to extend the time to file the record was not filed in 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.
