Opinion

Emmitt JONES v. STATE of Arkansas CR 03-491 147 S.W.3d 690 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered February 19, 2004 William M. Howard, Jr., for appellant. No response. [MAJORITY — Per Curiam.] Per Curiam. Appellant Emmitt Jones, by his attorney, William M. Howard, Jr., has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Mr. Howard admits that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on his part. We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981); In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam). A copy of this per curiam will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964.
