Wake WILLIAMS v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 97-952                                          ___ S.W.2d ___

                    Supreme Court of Arkansas
              Opinion delivered September 11, 1997


Appeal & error -- motion for rule on clerk -- good cause for
     granting. -- An admission by an attorney for a criminal
     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.
     Georeg J. Stone, for appellant.
     No response.

     Per Curiam.
     Appellant, Wake Williams, by his attorney, George J. Stone, 
has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.  His attorney admits that
the record was tendered late due to an error on his part.
     We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for
a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion.  See per
curiam order dated February 5, 1979.  In re:  Belated Appeals in
Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964; Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243,
