Preston P. WILLIAMS v. STATE of Arkansas

RC 90-56

797 S.W.2d 457

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered October 29, 1990

Robert H. Smith, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Preston P. Williams, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Robert H. Smith, admits 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, 265 Ark. 964.

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