Kennedy v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided September 18, 1995No. CR 95-897PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

Appellant, Eric Kennedy, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, John Henry, 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.
