APPEAL ERROR — MOTION FOR RULE ON THE CLERK, GOOD CAUSE FOR GRANTING. — The 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; motion granted.
Robert B. Wellenberger, for appellant.
Steve Clark, Att'y. Gen., by; Alice Ann Burns, Asst. Att'y. Gen., for appellee.
Appellant, Odis Donnell Thomas, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Robert B. Wellenberger, admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases.
