Opinion

Odis Donnell THOMAS v. STATE of Arkansas 632 S.W.2d 427 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered May 10, 1982 Robert B. Wellenberger, for appellant. Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Burns, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant, Odis Donnell Thomas, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Robert B, Wellenberger, 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.
