Supreme Court of Arkansas
Treadwell v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs.
January 30, 20142014 Ark. 42
Summary
The court granted the motion to file a belated notice of appeal because counsel admitted that her lack of diligence caused the one-day delay. It denied counsel’s request to withdraw without prejudice because counsel had not shown compliance with the notice and prejudice-avoidance requirements for withdrawal, and it therefore deemed the request to substitute counsel moot. The court also directed that a copy of the opinion be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
