Valenzuela v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Decided June 12, 2003No. CR 03-373PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

Appellant Jose Valenzuela, by and through his attorney, Ralph J. Blagg, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Attorney Blagg states in the motion that the record was tendered late 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.
