Head Matter:
Roy Eugene VANCE v. STATE of Arkansas
621 S.W. 2d 224
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered September 21, 1981
DeLoss McKnight, for appellant.
Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Bums, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant, Roy Eugene Vance, by his attorney, has again filed for a rule on the clerk. In a Per Curiam opinion issued July 13, 1931, we denied a similar motion.
His attorney, DeLoss McKnight, has attached an affidavit admitting that the record was entered late 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.
