Byron HOOPER v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 91-232
    820 S.W.2d 276
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered December 9, 1991
    
      George Mason, for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Byron Hooper, by his attorney, George W. Mason, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to his negligence in meeting the ninety-day limit for filing the record in this court. See Ark. R. App. P. 5(a).

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
