Undra SUMLIN v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 94-362

883 S.W.2d 480

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered September 26, 1994

Matthew J. Ketcham, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Undra Sumlin, by his attorney, Matthew J. Ketcham, has filed a motion to file a belated record. We treat this as a motion for belated appeal.

*106His attorney, Matthew J. Ketcham, admits by motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part in calculating the forty-five days for filing the record pursuant to our per curiam of July 11, 1994.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam). The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
