Jason Mark SMITH v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 98-329

962 S.W.2d 813

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered April 9, 1998

Joel O.Huggins, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Jason Mark Smith, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Joel O. Huggins, states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by an 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.
