Buchanan v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided March 23, 2000

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 2000-03-23

Relies on Rogers v. State · Tarry v. State · Jones v. State

Decided 2000-03-23

PER CURIAM.

¶1Appellant Sanford Buchanan, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. The motion reflects that the record on appeal was due to be filed on March 1, 2000, but that it was not tendered until March 3, 2000. Appellant’s attorney, Steve J. Jackson, admits responsibility for tendering the record late.

¶2 We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. Jones v. State, 338 Ark. 29, 992 S.W.2d 85 (1999) (per curiam) (citing Tarry v. State, 288 Ark. 172, 702 S.W.2d 804 (1986) (per curiam)).

¶3The motion for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
