Rufus Antonio BOX v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 02-751

83 S.W.3d 416

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered September 5, 2002

David Mark Gunter, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Rufus Antonio Box, by and through attorney, David Mark Gunter, has filed a motion for belated appeal. Attorney, David Mark Gunter, states in the motion that the notice of appeal was filed 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.
