Head Matter:
James LAWSON v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 04-474
181 S.W.3d 553
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered May 20, 2004
Gary McDonald, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant, James Lawson, by and through his attorney, am. filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. Attorney, Gary McDonald, 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.
