Head Matter:
Michael BRANCH v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 96-737
925 S.W.2d 427
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered July 15, 1996
J.F. Atkinson, Jr., for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Appellant Michael Branch, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.
His attorney J. E Atkinson, Jr., admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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 In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam). A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
