        "text": "Per Curiam.\nThe petitioner was convicted on June 22,1990, of the offense of murder in the first degree and sentenced to forty years in the Arkansas Department of Correction. A timely notice of appeal was filed by his court appointed counsel on July 18, 1990, along with the designation of record.\nAfter the notice of appeal was filed, petitioner informed his counsel that he was relieved of further responsibilities and on June 28, 1990, he filed a pro se motion for a new trial alleging, among other things, a conflict of interest with his counsel. Upon counsel\u2019s petition and an order of the circuit judge, the court appointed counsel was relieved of further duties and responsibilities in this case. The petitioner\u2019s pro se motion for a new trial was denied in December 1990. The circuit clerk tendered the transcript of the proceedings to the clerk of this court, but the transcript was not permitted to be filed by the clerk.\nPursuant to the Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 11(h):\nAny motion by counsel for a defendant in a criminal case for permission to withdraw made after notice of appeal has been given shall be addressed to this Court [Arkansas Supreme Court] and is to contain a statement of the reason for the request, and shall be served upon the defendant appealing . . .\nUnder this rule, the petitioner\u2019s counsel should have addressed his request for withdrawal to this court.\nThis court has held that we will grant a motion for rule on the clerk when the attorney admits that the record was not timely filed due to an error on his part. See Shuffield v. State, 292 Ark. 185, 729 S.W.2d 11 (1987). Here, the attorney does not admit fault on his part but instead implies that he had been discharged from his duties. We have held that a statement that it was someone else\u2019s fault or no one\u2019s fault will not suffice. Clark v. State, 289 Ark. 382, 711 S.W.2d 162 (1986). Therefore, the petitioner\u2019s motion must be denied.\nIf the appellant\u2019s attorney files a motion and affidavit in this case accepting full responsibility for not timely filing the transcript, then the motion will be granted and a copy of the opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.",
