James Ricky MAULDIN v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 03-1197

128 S.W.3d 827

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered November 13, 2003

Frank E. Shaw, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, James Ricky Mauldin, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Attorney, Frank E. Shaw, 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.
