        "text": "Per Curiam.\nDavid Coley, the appellant, has filed this motion for rule on the clerk through his attorney, Louis Etoch. We grant the motion.\nIn verdicts filed on January 22, 1998, the jury found Mr. Coley guilty on two counts of delivery of a controlled substance and imposed a ten-year prison term and fine of $5,000. Mr. Etoch filed a notice of appeal on Mr. Coley\u2019s behalf on January 23, 1998, prior to the filing of the judgment and commitment order on January 28, 1998. No subsequent notice of appeal was filed. Mr. Etoch tendered the transcript to the clerk of this Court on August 17, 1998, but the clerk correctly refused it because the notice of appeal had been prematurely filed. See Ark. R. App. P.\u2014Crim. 2(b). Mr. Coley now asks that we allow the record to be docketed and the case to proceed.\nMr. Coley\u2019s motion is styled as one for rule on the clerk, but we treat it in these circumstances as a motion for belated appeal. Brown v. State, 321 Ark. 282, 900 S.W.2d 954 (1995). We will grant such a motion \u201cwhen the attorney admits that the notice of appeal was not timely filed due to an error on his part.\u201d Brazil v. State, 332 Ark. 74, 75, 959 S.W.2d 55, 55 (1998). See Brown v. State, supra.\nMr. Etoch admits that he \u201cinadvertently\u201d calculated the time for filing the notice of appeal from the date on which the jury returned its verdicts and that he \u201cshould have\u201d calculated the filing time from the date on which the judgment and commitment order was filed. In light of Mr. Etoch\u2019s admission of fault, we grant the motion and direct the clerk to accept the record for filing. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. Brazil v. State, supra.\nMotion granted.",
