Opinion

Per Curiam.

Michael Henderson, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. We treat this motion as a motion for belated appeal.

His attorney, William McArthur, admits in his motion 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 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.
