Grooms v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided October 21, 1985

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1985-10-21

Relies on Rogers v. State · Terry v. State

Decided 1985-10-21

Per Curiam.

¶1Petitioner, William R. Grooms, by his attorney, Peter R. Darling, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to his miscalculation of the seven-month maximum limit for filing the record in this Court. See Rule 5, Ark. R. App. P., Ark. Stat. Ann., Vol. 3A (Repl. 1979).

¶2 We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See per curiam dated February 5, 1979, 265 Ark. 964; Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243 (1981).

¶3A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
