Milton MORRIS v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 04-840  ___ S. W.3d ___

Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered September 9, 2004

Appeal & Error - Motion for Rule on Clerk - Good Cause for Granting. - An admission by attorneys for a criminal defendant that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on their part is good cause to grant a motion for rule on the clerk.

Motion for Rule on Clerk; granted.

Hurst & Morrisey, PLLC, by: Q. Byrum Hurst, Jr. and Darrell F. Brown & Associates, P.A., by: Darrell F.Brown, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam. Appellant Milton Morris, by and through Q. Byrum Hurst, Jr. and Darrell F. Brown, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorneys, Hurst and Brown, state in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on their part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by an 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.
