SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
No.
CR11-556
CRISTOBAL MANCIA
Opinion Delivered
January 26, 2012
APPELLANT
MOTION TO FILE BELATED BRIEF
V.
STATE OF ARKANSAS
APPELLEE
GRANTED.
PER CURIAM
Appellee State of Arkansas, by and through Senior Assistant Attorney General, David
R. Raupp, moves this court to file a belated brief. On October 27, 2011, this court granted
a motion to dismiss appeal due to appellant’s failure to timely file brief. The appellant then
filed a motion to reconsider dismissal and reinstate appeal and motion to file belated brief,
both of which this court granted on December 1, 2011. The appellee’s brief was due on
January 2, 2012. The State filed the instant motion on January 12, 2012.
Mr. Raupp states in the motion that the missed deadline was due to a clerical error and
admits fault for the failure to timely file the appellee’s brief. Because this court benefits from
adversarial briefing, we grant the State’s motion. Nonetheless, because the brief is admittedly
untimely, we refer the matter to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
Motion granted.
