Opinion delivered January 20, 2000
APPEAL ERROR — MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK — GOOD CAUSE FOR GRANTING. — An admission by an attorney for a criminal defendant that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part is good cause to grant a motion for rule on the clerk.
Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.
Wright VanNoy, by: Herbert T. Wright, Jr., for appellant.
No response.
Carolyn Arnett, by her attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.
Her attorney, Herbert T. Wright, Jr., admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
We find that an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
The motion for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
