Harold TROUP v. STATE of Arkansas CR 02-376 ___ S.W.3d ___ Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered May 2, 2002 Appeal &amp; 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. Bart Ziegenhorn, for appellant. No response. Per Curiam. Appellant, Harold Troup, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. Attorney Bart Ziegenhorn admits by motion that the appeal was not timely filed 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.
