Arley David MATHIS v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 00-551

17 S.W.3d 499

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered June 1, 2000

Robert Scott Parks, for appellant.

No response.

PER Curiam.

Appellant Arley David Mathis, by and through am. attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Robert Scott Parks, states in the motion that the order extending time for filing the record was entered 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.
