Michael BRANCH v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 96-737

925 S.W.2d 427

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered July 15, 1996

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

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Michael Branch, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney J. E Atkinson, Jr., admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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). A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
