James Richard DORTCH v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 05-269
    206 S.W.3d 249
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered March 31, 2005
    
      Thurman Ragar, Jr., for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant James Richard Dortch, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Thurman Ragar Jr., states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by an attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See In Re Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
