Robert L. ROCKETT III and Terrick T. Nooner v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 94-578
    883 S.W.2d 454
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered September 12, 1994
    
      Joe Kelly Hardin, for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Robert L. Rockett, III and Terrick T. Nooner, by their attorney, have filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. We treat this motion for rule on the clerk as a motion for belated appeal. Their attorney, Joe Kelly Hardin, admits by motion that the record was filed two days before the judgment was entered 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 In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).

The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
