Head Matter:
Melton SMITH v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 02-1108
97 S.W.3d 385
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered January 23, 2003
Dennis R. Morlock, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Petitioner, Melton Smith, by his attorney, Dennis R. Molock, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part.
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, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
