Jeremiah Clark v. State of Arkansas

Jeremiah CLARK v. STATE of Arkansas

02-430 ___ S.W.3d ___

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered May 16, 2002

Appeal & error -- motion for rule on clerk -- good cause for granting. -- An admission by the 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.

Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.

Althea E. Hadden, for appellant.

No response.

Per Curiam. Appellant Jeremiah Clark, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Althea E. Hadden, states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on her 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.
