Opinion delivered May 9, 1994

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.

George J. Stone, for appellant.

No response.


We treat this motion for rule on the clerk as a motion for a belated appeal. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on October 5, 1993, whereas the judgment was not entered until December 1, 1993. Under our rules the notice of appeal was of no effect. Ark. R. App. P. 4; Kelly v. Kelly, 310 Ark. 244, 835 S.W.2d 249 (1991).

We grant the motion for a belated appeal and direct that a copy of this opinion be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
