Johnifer ROLSTON v. STATE of Arkansas
CR 04-588
186 S.W.3d 236
Supreme Court of Arkansas
Opinion delivered June 17,2004
Mazzanti Law Office, PLLC, by: Joseph P. Mazzanti, III, for appellant.
No response.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Johnifer Rolston, by his attorney, Joseph P. iam. III, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney admits that the notice of appeal was not filed in a timely manner due to a mistake on his part.
We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam).
The motion for belated appeal is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
