Opinion delivered May 18, 2000
1. 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. [cme]
Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.
Joe Kelly Hardin, for appellant.
No response.
Kevin Douglas Casey, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Joe Kelly Hardin, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
[1] We find 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.
