Melvin Glenn HANEY v. STATE of Arkansas
    637 S.W.2d 596
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered July 19, 1982
    
      Harold W. Madden, for appellant.
    
      Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Burns, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant, Melvin Glenn Haney, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued June 28, 1982, we denied a similar motion.

His attorney, Harold W. Madden, has attached an affidavit admitting that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See our Per Curiam dated February 5, 1969, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
