ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT  No.  CR 07­711  Opinion Delivered  December 6, 2007  PRO SE MOTION FOR  RECONSIDERATION OF DENIAL OF  MOTION FOR RULE ON CLERK  [CIRCUIT COURT OF JEFFERSON  COUNTY, CR 2005­985, HON. BERLIN  C. JONES, JUDGE]  LeCOREY SMITH  Petitioner  v.  STATE OF ARKANSAS  Respondent  MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION  DENIED.  PER CURIAM  Now before us is petitioner’s pro se motion for reconsideration of the denial of the motion  for rule on clerk that we handed down on September 20, 2007.  Smith v. State, CR 07­711 (Ark.  Sept. 20, 2007) (per curiam).  Petitioner reiterates the same grounds advanced in the September 20th  per curiam and re­asserts that the untimely record was due to an inadvertent miscalculation made by  the trial court and the clerk of the circuit court in extending the time allowed for lodging the record  on appeal.  Petitioner has failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that there was some error of fact  or law in the decision that would merit reconsideration of the denial of the motion for rule on clerk.  In sum, it is the duty of the litigants to perfect a timely appeal, and he failed to do so within the seven  month period from the date of the entry of the judgment.  Ark. R. App. P.–Civ. 5(b).  Motion for reconsideration denied.
