Bruce D. Switzer, for appellant.

Steve Clark, Atty Gen., by: Theodore G. Holder, Asst. Atty Gen., for appellee.


Appellant, Michael Daniel Herrington, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Bruce D. Switzer, 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.
