No. RC 88-39

Opinion delivered September 12, 1988

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE — MOTION FOR RULE ON THE CLERK — ATTORNEY'S ADMITTED ERROR IN MISCALCULATION OF LIMIT FOR FILING RECORD WAS GOOD CAUSE TO GRANT. — Where appellant's attorney admitted the record was tendered late due to her miscalculation of the ninety-day limit for filing the record, the error was good cause to grant the motion.

Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.

Beverly C. Claunch, for appellant.

No response.


Appellant, Robin Walker, by his attorney, Beverly C. Claunch, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to her miscalculation of the ninety-day limit for filing the record in this Court. See Ark. R. App. P. 5(a).

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See per curiam dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals In Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964; Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981).
