Opinion
Melvin Glenn HANEY v. STATE of Arkansas
637 S.W.2d 596
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered July 19, 1982
Harold W. Madden, for appellant.
Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Burns, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
[MAJORITY — Per Curiam.]
Per Curiam.
Appellant, Melvin Glenn Haney, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued June 28, 1982, we denied a similar motion.
His attorney, Harold W. Madden, has attached an affidavit admitting that the record was tendered late 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 dated February 5, 1969, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
