Ward v. State, 290 Ark. 185, 717 S.W.2d 492 (1986)

Oct. 20, 1986 · Arkansas Supreme Court

290 Ark. 185, 717 S.W.2d 492

Jim Arthur WARD v. STATE of Arkansas

717 S.W.2d 492

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered October 20, 1986

Bill E. Ross, for appellant.

No objection.

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).
