Jim Arthur WARD v. STATE of Arkansas
    717 S.W.2d 492
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered October 20, 1986
    
      Bill E. Ross, for appellant.
    No objection.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant, Jim Arthur Ward, by his attorney, Bill E. Ross, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late because the ninety-day limit for filing the record in this Court, see Ark. R. App. P. 5(a), was not extended by a new trial motion with respect to which no record was made. See Ark. R. App. P. 4(c).

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981).

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
