Head Matter:
Larry Donnell WASHINGTON v. STATE of Arkansas
626 S.W. 2d 361
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered January 11, 1982

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant, Larry Donnell Washington, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, Richard W. Byrd, admits that the record was tendered late 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.
Justice Purtle would grant the motion finding no fault on the part of counsel.
