Head Matter:
Robert WATSON v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 96-425
923 S.W.2d 871
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered June 24, 1996
John F. Stroud III, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per CURIAM.
Appellant Robert Watson, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney, John E Stroud III, admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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.
