Steven SWANIGAN v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 02-1093

88 S.W.3d 425

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered October 31, 2002

T. Clay Janske, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Steven Swanigan, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, T. Clay Janske, 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.
