290 Ark. 36

Johnson v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided September 22, 1986

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1986-09-22

Relies on Rogers v. State

Decided 1986-09-22

Per Curiam.

¶1Appellants, Raphael S. Johnson, Ida Johnson & Robert Johnson, by their attorney, Stephen E. James, have filed a motion for rule on the clerk.

¶2The motion admits that the record was not timely filed and it was no fault of the appellants. Their attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a clerical 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, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).

¶4A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
