Supreme Court of Arkansas

Lee v. Ark. Dep't of Human Servs.

March 3, 20162016 Ark. 87

Summary

The court treated Lee’s untimely request to appeal a permanent-custody order as a motion for belated appeal. Because the record did not make clear whether attorney error caused the untimely appeal, the court remanded for the circuit court to make factual findings on attorney fault before deciding whether to grant belated relief.
