Opinion

Donald Ray BURTON v. STATE of Arkansas 669 S.W.2d 1 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered May 14, 1984 James W. Haddock, for appellant. Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Theodore Holder, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant, Donald Ray Burton, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, James W. Haddock, 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.
