351 Ark. 562, 97 S.W.3d 385

Melton SMITH v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 02-1108

97 S.W.3d 385

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered January 23, 2003

Dennis R. Morlock, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Melton Smith, by his attorney, Dennis R. Molock, 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.
