Head Matter:
Byron HOOPER v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 91-232
820 S.W.2d 276
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered December 9, 1991
George Mason, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Petitioner, Byron Hooper, by his attorney, George W. Mason, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney admits that the record was tendered late due to his negligence in meeting the ninety-day limit for filing the record in this court. See Ark. R. App. P. 5(a).
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).
