Kenneth PARKER v. STATE of Arkansas

709 S.W.2d 399

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered May 5, 1986

Patrick H. Hays, for appellant.

Steve Clark, Att’y Gen., by: Theodore Holder, Asst. Att’y Gen., for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Kenneth Parker, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Patrick H. Hays, admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.

Purtle, J., not participating.
