Per Curiam.

Clifton Haggans, by his attorney, has filed a motion ‍‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‍for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Lohnes T. Tiner, admits by motion and brief 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 our Per Curiam opinion ‍‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‍In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).

The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion ‍‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‍will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
