Donald E. COLYER v. STATE of Arkansas

657 S.W.2d 548

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered October 3, 1983

Hewett <b Hewett, by: Carol Hewett, for petitioner.

Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Burns, Deputy Atty. Gen., for respondent.

Per Curiam.

In this criminal case the petitioner’s convictions were affirmed by the Court of Appeals on June 22, 1983. Petitioner wished to seek a review by this court, but his attorney, Carol Hewett, mistakenly thought that the time limit for filing a petition for review is 30 days instead of *337the 17 days allowed by Rule 29. Petitioner now seeks permission to file a belated petition for review. His attorney has filed a letter assuming full responsibility for the mistake. The petition is therefore granted, and a period of 17 days is allowed for the filing of the petition for review. A copy of this order will be sent to the Committee on Professional Conduct. See our per curiam order, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
