Julian Robert PROCTOR v. STATE of Arkansas CR 00-779 ___ S.W.3d ___ Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered September 7, 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. William C. McArthur, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Julian Robert Proctor, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, William C. McArthur, 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.
