Alexander NEWBORN v. STATE of Arkansas CR 04-989 __ S. W.3d ___ Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered October 7, 2004 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 Clerk; granted. Alan Le Var, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Appellant Alexander Newborn, by and through his attorney, Alan LeVar, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Attorney LeVar 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.
