Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1991-12-09

Relies on Rogers v. State · Terry v. State · Terry v. State

Decided 1991-12-09

Per Curiam.

¶1Petitioner, Byron Hooper, by his attorney, George W. Mason, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to his negligence in meeting the ninety-day limit for filing the record in this court. See Ark. R. App. P. 5(a).

¶2 We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

¶3A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
