Opinion

Alexander NEWBORN v. STATE of Arkansas CR 04-989 194 S.W.3d 770 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered October 7, 2004 Alan Le Var, for appellant. No response. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant Alexander Newborn, by and through his attorney, Alan LeVar, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Attorney LeVar 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.
