Jessie James HOWARD v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 00-976

25 S.W.3d 428

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered September 14, 2000

John C. Stratford, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Jessie James Howard, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.

His attorney, John C. Stratford, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find an error, admittedly made by the 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 for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
