Roberts v. State

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Feb 1, 2001
36 S.W.3d 751 (Ark. 2001)

Opinion

CR 01-53

Opinion delivered February 1, 2001

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 the clerk.

Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.

Christopher Carter, for appellant.

No response.


Appellant Russell Timothy Roberts, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Christopher Carter, states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

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.
