276 Ark. 559, 638 S.W.2d 263

Frank BROWN, Jr. v. STATE of Arkansas

638 S.W.2d 263

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered July 12, 1982

Anthony W. Bartels and Jim Burton, for appellant.

Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: A lice Ann Burns, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Per Curiam.

Frank Brown, Jr., by his attorneys, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorneys, Anthony W. Bartels and Jim R. Burton, have attached an affidavit admitting that the record was tendered late due to a mistake on their part.

We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorneys 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.

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
