Opinion delivered January 18, 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.
Thurman Ragar, Jr., for appellant.
No response.
The appellant, Jimmy Don Quick, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Thurman Ragar, admits that the failure to file the record within the prescribed time was due to a mistake on his part.
We hold that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
