CR 98-935 | Ark. | Sep 10, 1998
Appellant, Cephus Brewer, by his attorney, Theresa Nazario, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the notice of appeal was not filed in a timely manner due to a mistake on her part.
We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion, which we will treat as a motion for belated appeal. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243" date_filed="1981-03-23" court="Ark." case_name="Terry v. State">272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90" date_filed="1981-03-16" court="Ark." case_name="Terry v. State">613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
The motion for belated appeal is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
