Supreme Court of Arkansas

Butler v. State

April 16, 20152015 Ark. 173

Summary

The court treated Butler’s motion for a belated appeal as a motion for rule on clerk because the incorrect order date in his notice of appeal could have been a scrivener’s error. It nevertheless denied the motion because Butler did not establish good cause for failing to tender the record within the required period, and his asserted lack of counsel and complaints about trial counsel did not explain that failure.
