Allen Shane KELLEY v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 04-99
    147 S.W.3d 690
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered February 19, 2004
    
      Michael J. Dodson, for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Appellant Allen Shane Kelley, by and through his attorney, Michael J. Dodson, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. The motion reflects that the judgment of conviction was filed on October 10,2003, and the notice of appeal was timely filed pn October 22, 2003. The record, on appeal was due to be filed on January 20, 2004. See Ark. R. App. P. — Crim. 4; Ark. R. App. P. — Civ. 5. Thereafter, counsel obtained an order from the trial court extending the time to lodge the record on appeal, but that order was of no effect because it was entered on January 22, 2004, two days after the original ninety-day period ended. Id. The record was tendered in this court on January 23, 2004. Counsel admits responsibility for tendering the record late.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Jackson v. State, 351 Ark. 212, 89 S.W.3d 930 (2002) (per curiam); Tarry v. State, 288 Ark. 172, 702 S.W.2d 804 (1986) (per curiam). The motion for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

It is so ordered.
