CR 99-795
14 S.W.3d 524
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered April 20, 2000
Norman G. Cox, Sevier County Pub. Defender, for appellant.
Mark Pryor, Att’y Gen., by: Milton O. Fine, II, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant Albert Allen Dirickson, by and through AM. attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Norman G. Cox, admits by motion that the appeal was not timely filed 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.
