Opinion

No. CR 04-1379.

Opinion delivered January 13, 2005.

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 Clerk; granted.

Steven M. Harper, Arkansas Public Defender Commission, for appellant.

No response.


Appellant, Billy Dale Green, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Steven M. Harper, states in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part. We find that such an error, admittedly made by an 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).

[1] Therefore, the motion is granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
