Jason McCONNELL v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 03-262

101 S.W.3d 835

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered April 3, 2003

Michael L. Allison, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Jason McConnell, by and through his attorney, am. filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Michael L. Allison, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion, which we will treat as a motion for belated appeal. 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.
