Joel P. SMITH v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 96-261
    917 S.W.2d 168
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered March 18, 1996
    
      
      Robert S. Tschiemer, for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant, Joel P. Smith, by his attorney, has filed for a belated appeal.

His attorney, Robert S. Tschiemer, admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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 opinion dated February 5, 1979, In re Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
