Greg SHRADER v. STATE of Arkansas

666 S.W.2d 398

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered March 26, 1984

Matthew T. Horan, for appellant.

Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Marci L. Talbot, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Greg Shrader, by his attorney, Matthew T. Horan, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.

The motion admits that the notice was not timely filed and it was no fault of the appellant. His attorney admits that the notice was filed 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.
