Opinion

Allen CLAY v. STATE of Arkansas CR 92-547 828 S.W.2d 846 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered May 26, 1992 Louis A. Etoch, for appellant. No objection. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant, Allen Clay, by his attorney has filed for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Louis Etoch, admits that the failure to file the record in time was 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, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
