Clarence Manning v. State of Arkansas  Clarence MANNING v. STATE of Arkansas CR 97-102 ___ S.W.2d ___ Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered February 17, 1997 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. Chris Jester, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Clarence Manning, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Chris Jester, admits in his motion that the record was tendered 48 days late due to a mistake on his part. We find that 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 is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
