Delmar Lee LEWIS v. STATE of Arkansas

RC 90-53

800 S.W.2d 722

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered January 14, 1991

[Opinion Corrected February 4, 1991.]

Stephen G. Hough, for appellant.

Steve Clark, Att’y Gen., by: Theodore Holder, Asst. Att’y Gen., for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Delmar Lee Lewis, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, A. Wayne Davis, 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.
