     Appellant Earnest Young, by his attorney, has filed for a rule
on the clerk. 
     His attorney Robert F. Morehead, admits that the failure to
file the record in time was 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 dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated
Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.  A copy of this opinion
will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
