Richard Harold MAXWELL v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 03-55

97 S.W.3d 418

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered February 6, 2003

David L. Chambers, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Richard Harold Maxwell, by and through his attorney, David L. Chambers, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Mr. Chambers, states in the motion that his motion to extend the time to file the record was not filed in timely fashion 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.
