STATE of Arkansas CR 95-1234 912 S.W.2d 11 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered December 18, 1995 APPEAL & ERROR - MOTION FOR RULE ON THE CLERK - GOOD CAUSE FOR GRANTING. - An admission by an attorney for a criminal defendant that he has failed to file a timely appeal is good cause to grant a motion for rule on the clerk. Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted. Marc Honey, for appellant. No response. PER CURIAM. Willie Burton, Jr., by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Marc Honey, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part. [1] We find that such an error, admittedly made by the 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.
