Dominic SIMPSON v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 01-684

48 S.W.3d 533

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered July 9, 2001

Mark S. Frasier, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Dominic Simpson, by his attorney Mark S. Fraiser, Chief Public Defender, Garland County Public Defender’s Office, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in. Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
