Motion for Rule on the Clerk; granted.

Louis A. Etoch, for appellant.

No objection.


Appellant, Allen Clay, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Louis A. Etoch, admits that the record was tendered late 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.
