Opinion

Shawn WATKINS v. STATE of Arkansas CR 98-160 959 S.W.2d 404 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered March 5, 1998 Andre K. Valley, for appellant. No response. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Shawn Watkins, by his attorney, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, Andre K. Valley, admits in his motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part. We find an error, admittedly made by the 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 for rule on the clerk is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
