        "text": "Per Curiam.\nOn June 12, 1995, Cleotis Willis filed a notice of appeal from a criminal conviction. The record was not filed in a timely manner with this Court. On January 8, 1996, we granted a motion for rule on the clerk based upon the admission of fault by Donny Gene Gillaspie, Mr. Willis\u2019s counsel, in failure to tender the record on time.\nOn January 8, 1996, Mr. Gillaspie filed a motion to complete the record which was granted on January 29, 1996, and the case was remanded for that purpose to the Trial Court. By letter of March 25, 1996, the Clerk of this Court inquired of Mr. Gillaspie as to the status of the case. The Clerk\u2019s record indicates that Mr. Gillaspie telephoned on April 8, 1996, to inform the Clerk that Mr. Willis had been declared indigent and that the record had been ordered. On August 20, 1996, the Clerk again inquired by letter as to the status of the case. Our Clerk\u2019s record contains letters from the Trial Court and his Court Reporter indicating that further delay was caused by inability of the Reporter to produce the record in a timely manner.\nBy letter of February 18, 1997, the Clerk informed Mr. Gillaspie that the record had been filed on December 23, 1996, but that a brief for Mr. Willis, which was due February 1, 1997, had not yet been filed. The Clerk\u2019s record contains no response from Mr. Gillaspie.\nOn March 10, 1997, the State moved to dismiss the appeal due to the failure of Mr. Willis to file a brief. On March 19, 1997, Mr. Gillaspie responded on behalf of Mr. Willis asking that the State\u2019s motion to dismiss be denied and that he be allowed to file a belated brief. Mr. Gillaspie recited a personal medical problem as the cause of his failure to file the brief. He indicated that the problem had been resolved and he would be able to file a brief within ten days or two weeks.\nThe State\u2019s motion to dismiss the appeal is denied.\nWe grant Mr. Willis\u2019s motion to file a belated brief. The brief will be due on May 12, 1997.",
