327 Ark. 89

Reyes v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided January 21, 1997

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 1997-01-21

Relies on Rogers v. State

Decided 1997-01-21

Per Curiam.

¶1Rogelio and Basilio Reyes, by their attorney, have filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.

¶2Their attorney, Thomas L. Travis, admits in his motion that the record was tendered more than seven months beyond date of judgment 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, which we will treat as a motion for belated appeal. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

¶4The motion for belated appeal is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
