William Wesley SKIVER v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 96-527

920 S.W.2d 854

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered May 20, 1996

Jon A. Williams, for appellant.

No response.

PER CURIAM.

William Wesley Skiver, by his attorney, Jon A. Williams, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney admits by 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.

Dudley, J., not participating.
