Head Matter:
James Richard DORTCH v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 05-269
206 S.W.3d 249
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered March 31, 2005
Thurman Ragar, Jr., for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant James Richard Dortch, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Thurman Ragar Jr., 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.
