Jerry Schalk v. State of Arkansas  Jerry SCHALK v. STATE of Arkansas 98-227 ___ S.W.2d ___ Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered March 19, 1998 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. Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted. Teri Swicegood, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Jerry Schalk, by his attorney, Teri Swicegood, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the transcript was tendered late due to an error on her part. We find such 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.
