Opinion

Preston P. WILLIAMS v. STATE of Arkansas RC 90-56 797 S.W.2d 457 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered October 29, 1990 Robert H. Smith, for appellant. No response. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant, Preston P. Williams, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Robert H. Smith, admits 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 dated February 5, 1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
