Kelly VEST v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 03-1300
    138 S.W.3d 688
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered December 11, 2003
    
      Stuart Vess, for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant, Kelly Vest, by and through his attorney, Stuart Vess, has filed a motion to file a belated appeal, which we will treat as a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney accepts responsibility for the untimeliness in filing the record and states in his motion that the lateness was due to a mistake on his part. We find that such error, admittedly made by an attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam); Jacks v. State, 344 Ark. 406, 39 S.W.3d 798 (2001).

Appellant’s motion is granted. A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
