Per Curiam.

Appellant Daniel Nobice Peters, by and through his attorney, ‍​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‍has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, Phillip A. McGough, 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.
