Decided October 10, 1994

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1994-10-10

Relies on Rogers v. State

Decided 1994-10-10

Per Curiam.

¶1Appellant, Shirley Matthews, by her attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

¶2Her attorney, Phillip Crego, admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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.
