Paul N. Ford, for appellant.

No response.


Appellant, Minnie Pryor, by her attorney, Paul N. Ford has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. Her attorney admits that the record was tendered late.

We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See per curiam dated February 5, 1979, In re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964; Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981).
