MOTION FOR RULE ON THE CLERK

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Milton Morris, by and through Q. Byrum Hurst, Jr. and Darrell F. Brown, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorneys, Hurst and Brown, state in the motion that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on their part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by an 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 is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
