Opinion

James LAWSON v. STATE of Arkansas CR 04-474 181 S.W.3d 553 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered May 20, 2004 Gary McDonald, for appellant. No response. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant, James Lawson, by and through his attorney, am. filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. Attorney, Gary McDonald, 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.
