M.H. v. STATE of Arkansas

97-1439                                            ___ S.W.2d ___

                    Supreme Court of Arkansas
               Opinion delivered December 19, 1997


Appeal & error -- motion for rule on clerk -- good cause for
     granting. -- An admission by an attorney for a juvenile
     defendant that the record was tendered late due to a mistake
     on his part is good cause to grant a motion for rule on the
     clerk.

     Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.
     Lewis Littlepage, for appellant.
     No response.

     Per Curiam.
     The appellant, M. H., has filed a motion for rule on the
clerk.  His attorney, Lewis W. Littlepage, admits fault for
tendering the record late in his client's juvenile delinquency
case.
     We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney
here, is good cause to grant the motion.  See Hansberry v. State,
318 Ark. 757, 887 S.W.2d 308 (1994).  A copy of this opinion will
be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
