Kevin Douglas CASEY v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 00-388 ___ S.W.3d ___

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered May 18, 2000

Appeal & error -- motion for rule on clerk -- good cause for

granting. -- An 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. [cme]

Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.

Joe Kelly Hardin, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam. Kevin Douglas Casey, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Joe Kelly Hardin, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find 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 for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
