Head Matter:
Johnny Lee NELSON v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 81-30
613 S.W. 2d 598
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered April 6, 1981
Ray Baxter, for appellant.
Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant Johnny Lee Nelson, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued March 23, 1981, we denied a similar motion.
His attorney, Ray Baxter, has attached an affidavit admitting 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.
A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
