Ward v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Ward v. State

717 S.W.2d 492, 290 Ark. 185, 1986 Ark. LEXIS 2137

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided October 20, 1986·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Jim Arthur Ward, by his attorney, Bill E. Ross, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late because the ninety-day limit for filing the record in this Court, see Ark. R. App. P. 5(a), was not extended by a new trial motion with respect to which no record was made. See Ark. R. App. P. 4(c).

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981).

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
