Opinion

Albert Allen DIRICKSON v. STATE of Arkansas CR 99-795 14 S.W.3d 524 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered April 20, 2000 Norman G. Cox, Sevier County Pub. Defender, for appellant. Mark Pryor, Att’y Gen., by: Milton O. Fine, II, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee. [MAJORITY — PER CURIAM.] PER CURIAM. Appellant Albert Allen Dirickson, by and through AM. attorney, has filed a motion for belated appeal. His attorney, Norman G. Cox, admits by motion that the appeal was not timely filed 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.
