Irene WADDLE v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 04-179

167 S.W.3d 664

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered May 13, 2004

John R. Irwin, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Irene Waddle, through her attorney, John m. Irwin, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Mr. Irwin admits responsibility for failing to timely file the record 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.
