        "text": "Per Curiam.\nAppellant files a motion for rule on the clerk requesting the court to direct its clerk to accept appellant\u2019s transcript. The trial judge orally announced his decision in open court on May 24, 1994, but his judgment was not entered until June 28, 1994. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on June 7, 1994 \u2014 before entry of the judgment.\nUnder ARCP Rule 36.9, a defendant must file his appeal within thirty days from the date of entry of the judgment, and a notice is invalid if it is filed prior to the entry of the judgment appealed from. Appellant points out the trial judge\u2019s June 28, 1994 judgment was entered nunc pro tunc effective May 24, 1994, which, appellant urges, cures any premature timeliness of his notice of appeal. Not so. As we said in Clements v. State, 312 Ark. 528, 851 S.W.2d 422 (1993), a nunc pro tunc order may be entered to make the court\u2019s record speak the truth or to show that which actually occurred. Here, the event triggering the time for filing an appeal is when the judgment is entered. That event never occurred on May 24, 1994, and a nunc pro tunc order cannot be utilized to correct the omission.\nWe direct appellant\u2019s counsel to file a motion and affidavit in this case within thirty days, accepting responsibility for failing to perfect the appeal. Appellant\u2019s motion will then be granted, Watson v. State, 313 Ark. 409, 856 S.W.2d 1 (1993), and a copy of the opinion granting the motion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.\nAccordingly, the motion is denied.",
