Pack v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided January 28, 1999No. CR 98-1358PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Per curiam

Appellant Shane Pack, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Clarence W. Cash, admits by motion that the appeal was not timely filed due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by an attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See In Re Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
