Head Matter:
Dirk JOHNSON v. STATE of Arkansas
CA CR 97-1444
959 S.W.2d 54
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered February 26, 1998
Norman M. Smith, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Petitioner, Dirk Johnson, by his attorney, Norman M. Smith, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney admits that he failed to file the notice of appeal on time.
We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 295 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
