Bobby S. MORGAN v. STATE of Arkansas CR 03-587 113 S.W.3d 81 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered September 4, 2003 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. Erwin L. Davis, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Appellant Bobby S. Morgan, by and through his attorney, Erwin L. Davis, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Attorney Davis states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his 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.
