Opinion delivered January 7, 1999
APPEAL ERROR — MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK — GOOD CAUSE FOR GRANTING. — An admission by the 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.
William O. James, Jr., for appellant.
No response.
[1] Appellant, Darrell Lamar Haire, by his attorney, William O. James, Jr., has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Mr. James admits in the motion 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 In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam). Accordingly, the motion is granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
