Ray McBRIDE, Sr. v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 04-570

187 S.W.3d 856

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered June 10, 2004

B. Kenneth Johnson, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Ray McBride, Sr., by and through am. attorney, B. Kenneth Johnson, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Mr. Johnson admits responsibility for failing to timely file the record due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by an 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).

*650The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
