Opinion

Steven SWANIGAN v. STATE of Arkansas CR 02-1093 88 S.W.3d 425 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered October 31, 2002 T. Clay Janske, for appellant. No response. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant Steven Swanigan, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on clerk. His attorney, T. Clay Janske, 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.
