Christopher OWEN v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 03-1267

135 S.W.3d 398

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered December 5, 2003

*265 Paul D. Budd, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Christopher Owen, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Paul D. Budd, 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.
