Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided December 4, 1997·No. CR 97-1311·Published

Opinion

Per. Curiam.

Petitioner, Mikey Dale Forrest, by his attorney, Greg Robinson, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney admits that the record in this case was tendered late 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).
