807 S.W.2d 468 (Ark. 1991)

Opinion

No. RC 91-20

Opinion delivered April 29, 1991

APPEAL ERROR — MOTION FOR RULE ON THE 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.

Clyde Lee, for appellants.

No response.


Appellants, Robert Bogard and George Willis, by their attorney, have filed for a rule on the clerk.

Their attorney, Clyde E. Lee, admits that the failure to file the record in time was due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
