Supreme Court of Arkansas

Smith v. State

April 28, 20162016 Ark. 194

Summary

The court denied Smith’s motion for rule on clerk because he failed to show good cause for lodging the record outside the required time. Although Smith claimed he had timely sought an extension, the docket showed that his extension motion was filed after the deadline and therefore could not support a valid extension. The court concluded that the appeal record was untimely and that Smith did not establish compliance with the appellate rules.
