Supreme Court of Arkansas·Decided January 10, 2002·No. CR 01-1352·Published

Opinion

P lER CURIAM.

Appellant Tony Pennington, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. Attorney, James O. Cox, states in the motion that the record was tendered late 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.

IMBER, J., not participating.
