Supreme Court of Arkansas
Ransom v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs.
January 22, 20152015 Ark. 21
Summary
The court granted Ransom's motion for a belated appeal after accepting the circuit court's finding that her attorney was responsible for the untimely appeal. It denied Harvey's motion for a belated appeal and his request to proceed in forma pauperis because the circuit court found that his former attorney was not at fault and had made reasonable efforts to locate him. The court also granted Ransom's in forma pauperis petition, relieved her attorney, and appointed appellate counsel.
