APPEAL ERROR — MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK — GOOD CAUSE FOR GRANTING. — An admission by an attorney for a criminal defendant that a motion to extend the time to file the record was not filed in timely fashion due to a mistake on his part is good cause to grant a motion for rule on the clerk.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant Richard Harold Maxwell, by and through his attorney, David L. Chambers, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Mr. Chambers, states in the motion that his motion to extend the time to file the record was not filed in timely fashion due to a mistake on his part.
[1] 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.
