Head Matter:
Donald SIMMONS v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 04-313
159 S.W.3d 312
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered April 15, 2004
Alvin Schay, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant Donald Simmons, by and through am. attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Alvin Schay, 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.
