IN RE: APPOINTMENT of COUNSEL

in CRIMINAL CASES

___ S.W.3d ___

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Delivered January 25, 2001

Per Curiam. Because appellants in criminal cases are entitled to counsel on direct appeal from a judgment of conviction, this Court on occasion must appoint attorneys to represent indigent appellants. Attorneys who are desirous of such appointments should register with Sue Newbery, Criminal Justice Coordinator, Arkansas Supreme Court, Justice Building, 625 Marshall St., Little Rock, AR 72201. Counsel will be paid a fee after determination of the case, upon a proper motion.
