Head Matter:
Desmond BRYAN v. STATE of Arkansas
696 S.W.2d 306
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered September 9, 1985
John R. Mercy, for appellant.
Steve Clark, Att’y Gen., by: Clint Miller, Asst. Att’y Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant, Desmond Bryan, by his attorney, John R. Mercy, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.
The motion admits that the record was not timely filed and it was no fault of the appellant. His attorney admits that the record was tendered 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, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
