Wesley L. ROBERTS and His Parent Penny Roberts v. STATE of Arkansas CR 02-742 ___ S.W.3d ___ Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered September 5, 2002 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. Michael Loggains, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Appellants Wesley L. Roberts and Penny Roberts, by and through their attorney, have filed a motion for rule on clerk. Attorney, Michael Loggains, 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.
