Head Matter:
Randy ALLEN v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 97-998
950 S.W.2d 220
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered September 18, 1997
Stuart Vess, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant, Randy Allen, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. We treat this motion as a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Stuart Vess, admits in his motion 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 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.
