Opinion
Benny REED v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 95-392
899 S.W.2d 53
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered May 15, 1995
John D. Lightfoot, for appellant.
No response.
[MAJORITY — Per Curiam.]
Per Curiam.
Appellant, Benny Reed, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, John D. Lightfoot, admits that the failure to file the record in time was due to a mistake on his part.
We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
