Paul Steven JONES v. STATE of Arkansas
    CR 97-351
    940 S.W.2d 887
    Supreme Court of Arkansas
    Opinion delivered April 14, 1997
    
      John F. Gibson, Jr., for appellant.
    No response.
   Per Curiam.

Paul Steven Jones, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a belated appeal. His attorney, John F. Gibson, Jr., admits in his motion that the record was tendered late 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 In re Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).

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