        "text": "Per Curiam.\nOn March 12, 1999, the record in this case was tendered to the clerk\u2019s office, but it was not accepted because the time for filing had exceeded seven months from the date of the entry of judgment. On March 19, 1999, counsel filed a motion for rule on the clerk and again tendered the record to the clerk\u2019s office, although the time for filing had lapsed. In his motion, appellant stated the reason the record was tendered late was that the Hot Spring County Circuit Clerk was unable to prepare the transcript in time for proper filing.\nThis court has held that it 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, e.g., Tarry v. State, 288 Ark. 172, 702 S.W.2d 804 (1986). Further, 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, appellant\u2019s motion was denied.\nAppellant\u2019s attorney now files another motion for rule on the clerk in which he admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part. We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Tarry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).\nA copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
