Daniels v. State, 998 S.W.2d 737

Per Curiam.

Appellant, William Leroy Daniels, by his attorney, John M. ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍Blair, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍to a mistake on his part.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍in Criminal Cases, 295 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional ‍​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
