349 Ark. 735, 81 S.W.3d 522

Robert James LORD v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 02-674

81 S.W.3d 522

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered July 11, 2002

Joe Kelly Hardin, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Robert James Lord, by and through attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Attorney, Joe Kelly Hardin, 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.
