Opinion

CR 03-1476

Opinion delivered January 22, 2004

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 clerk.

Motion for Rule on Clerk; granted.

Buckley, McLemore Hudson, P.A., by: Kent McLemore, for appellant.

No response.


Appellant Jeffery Morgan, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, Kent McLemore, states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

[1] 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).

The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
