Earl Ray NEIGHBORS v. STATE of Arkansas

RC 90-69

804 S.W.2d 728

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered March 18, 1991

J. F. Atkinson, Jr., for appellant.

Winston Bryant, Att’y Gen., by: Clint Miller, Asst. Att’y Gen., for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Earl Ray Neighbors, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, J.F. Atkinson, Jr., 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.
