Ward v. State

27 S.W.3d 752, 342 Ark. 379, 2000 Ark. LEXIS 480

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided October 12, 2000·No. CR 00-1084·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellant Katherine Ward, by and through her attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Her attorney, David R. Cannon, 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.
