Vance v. State

621 S.W.2d 224, 273 Ark. 495, 1981 Ark. LEXIS 1391

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided September 21, 1981·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Roy Eugene Vance, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued July 13, 1931, we denied a similar motion.

His attorney, DeLoss McKnight, has attached an affidavit admitting that the record was entered 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 opinion dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.

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