Daniel Nobice PETERS v. STATE of Arkansas CR 04-201 153 S.W.3d 757 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered March 11, 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 clerk. Motion for Rule on Clerk; granted. Phillip A. McGough, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Appellant Daniel Nobice Peters, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Phillip A. McGough, 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.
