Willie BURTON, Jr. v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 95-1234

912 S.W.2d 11

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered December 18, 1995

Marc Honey, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Willie Burton, Jr., by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Marc Honey, admits in his motion 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 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.
