Bobby Russell v. State of Arkansas
Annotate this CaseBobby RUSSELL v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 03-402 110 S.W.3d 249
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered May 1, 2003
Appeal & error -- motion for rule on clerk -- good cause for granting. -- An admission by an attorney for a criminal defendant that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part is good cause to grant a motion for rule on the clerk. [cme]
Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.
Mike Everett, for appellant.
No response.
Per Curiam. Appellant Bobby Russell, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Mike Everett, states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
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).
The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
