Opinion delivered September 28, 2000
Appeal error — motion for belated appeal — good cause for granting. — An admission by an attorney for a criminal defendant that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on her part is good cause to grant a motion for belated appeal.
Motion for Belated Appeal; granted.
Sandra S. Cordi, for appellant.
No response.
Appellant, Robert Lewis, by his attorney, Sandra Cordi, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on her part.
We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 295 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, supra.
