Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided April 20, 2000

Supreme Court of Arkansas · decided 2000-04-20

Relies on Rogers v. State

Decided 2000-04-20

PER CURIAM.

¶1Appellant Albert Allen Dirickson, by and through AM. attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Norman G. Cox, admits by motion that the appeal was not timely filed due to a mistake on his part.

¶2 We find that such an error, admittedly made by an attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See In Re Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

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