Opinion

Jerry ATKINS v. STATE of Arkansas 696 S.W.2d 306 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered September 9, 1985 Mark W. Corley, for appellant. Steve Clark, Att’y Gen., by: Clint Miller, Asst. Att’y Gen., for appellee. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant, Jerry Atkins, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Mark W. Corley, 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. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
