Roberts v. State

84 S.W.3d 43, 350 Ark. 5, 2002 Ark. LEXIS 426

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided September 5, 2002·No. CR 02-742·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellants Wesley L. Roberts and Penny Roberts, by and through their attorney, have filed a motion for rule on clerk. Attorney, Michael Loggains, states in the motion that the record was tendered 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.
