Head Matter:
Michael James WICKER v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 02-1161
89 S.W.3d 931
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered November 21, 2002
Richard Mattison, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant Michael James Wicker, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. The court considers the motion as a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Richard Mattison, states in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
We find that such an error, admittedly made by an 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.
