317 Ark. 643

Rockett v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided September 12, 1994

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1994-09-12

Relies on Rogers v. State

Decided 1994-09-12

Per Curiam.

¶1Robert L. Rockett, III and Terrick T. Nooner, by their attorney, have filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. We treat this motion for rule on the clerk as a motion for belated appeal. Their attorney, Joe Kelly Hardin, admits by motion that the record was filed two days before the judgment was entered due to a mistake on his part.

¶2 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).

¶3The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
