APPEAL ERROR — MOTION FOR RULE ON THE CLERK — GOOD CAUSE FOR GRANTING. — Where the attorney for a criminal defendant admits in his Motion for Rule on the Clerk that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part, this constitutes good cause to grant the motion.
Motion for Rule on the Clerk; motion granted.
Robert Sharp Gunter, for appellant.
Steve Clark, Att'y Gen., by: Theodore Holder, Asst. Att'y Gen., for appellee.
Appellant, Mark Ward, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Robert Sharp Gunter, 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, 265 Ark. 964.
