Jose VALENZUELA v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 03-373

113 S.W.3d 80

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered June 12, 2003

Ralph J. Blagg, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Jose Valenzuela, by and through his attorney, Ralph J. Blagg, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Attorney Blagg 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.

Corbin, J., not participating.
