Wicker v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Wicker v. State

89 S.W.3d 931, 351 Ark. 213, 2002 Ark. LEXIS 593

Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided November 21, 2002·No. CR 02-1161·Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

Appellant Michael James Wicker, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. The court considers the motion as a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Richard Mattison, 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.
