Smith [6, Theorem 2.18] proved that if A is a ring which has a right artinian right quotient ring and G is a poly- (cyclic-or-finite) group, then the group ring AG has a right artinian right quotient ring. We give here a different proof (and a generalization) of this result using methods developed by Jategaonkar [3,4]. THEOREM. Let A be a ring which has a right artinian right quotient ring, and let G be a group which has a (transfinite) ascending normal series with each factor either finite or cyclic, but only a finite number of finite factors. Then AG has a right artinian right quotient ring.
