PER CURIAM.

William Wesley Skiver, by his attorney, Jon A. Williams, ‍​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney admits by 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.

Dudley, J., not participating.
