#### IN RE: RULE 5.5, RULES of CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Delivered June 24, 1999

Per Curiam.

Our Committee on Criminal Practice has recommended in light of the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Knowles v. Iowa (December 8, 1998) that Rule 5.5 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure be repealed. We agree. Accordingly, effective immediately, Rule 5.5 is repealed.
