Opinion delivered December 19, 1983
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 Clerk; motion granted.
Davis Bracey, by: Charles E. Davis, for appellant.
Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Burns, Deputy Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Appellant Larry Gonce, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Charles E. Davis, has attached an affidavit admitting that the record was tendered late 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 dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
