Melton SMITH v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 02-1108
    97 S.W.3d 385
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered January 23, 2003
    
      Dennis R. Morlock, for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Petitioner, Melton Smith, by his attorney, Dennis R. Molock, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.

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 per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
