ARK. ] 495 Roy Eugene VANCE v. STATE of Arkansas 621 S.W. 2d 224 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered September 21, 1981 APPEAL & ERROR - MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK - ADMITTED ERROR BY ATTORNEY GOOD CAUSE FOR GRANTING. - There is good cause to grant the motion for rule on the clerk where the attorney for a criminal defendant admits error. Motion for rule on the clerk; motion granted. DeLoss McKnight, for appellant. Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Burns, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee. PER CURIAM. Appellant, Roy Eugene Vance, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued July 13, 1931, we denied a similar motion. His attorney, DeLoss McKnight, has attached an affidavit admitting that the record was entered 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. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
