CR 00-779
September 7, 2000
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.
William C. McArthur, for appellant.
No response.
Julian Robert Proctor, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, William C. McArthur, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
We find 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).
[1] The motion for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
