Milton MORRIS v. STATE of Arkansas 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.
