Decided November 3, 1986

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1986-11-03

Relies on Rogers v. State

Decided 1986-11-03

Per Curiam.

¶1Appellant, Early Johnson, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

¶2His attorney, John R. Henry, admits that the notice of appeal was not timely given due to a mistake on his part.

¶3 We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5,1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
