Opinion

Jimmy Dean WELCH v. STATE of Arkansas CR 93-1051 868 S.W.2d 32 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered October 11, 1993 Phil Kinsey, for appellant. No response. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. The appellant, Jimmy Dean Welch, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Phil Kinsey, 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. The motion is therefore granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
