Johnny Lee NELSON v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 81-30

613 S.W. 2d 598

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered April 6, 1981

Ray Baxter, for appellant.

Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Johnny Lee Nelson, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per *288Curiam opinion issued March 23, 1981, we denied a similar motion.

His attorney, Ray Baxter, has attached an affidavit admitting that the record was tendered 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.

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