Alexander NEWBORN v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 04-989

194 S.W.3d 770

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered October 7, 2004

Alan Le Var, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Alexander Newborn, by and through his attorney, Alan LeVar, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Attorney LeVar 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.
