Johnny Austin BENTON v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 96-145

915 S.W.2d 284

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered February 19, 1996

Edgar R. Thompson, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Johnny Austin Benton, by his attorney, Edgar R. Thompson, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
