336 COLYER V. STATE [280 Cite as 280 Ark. 336 (1983) Donald E. COLYER v. STATE of Arkansas 657 S.W.2d 548 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered October 3, 1985 APPEAL & ERROR — PETITION FOR REVIEW FILED LATE DUE TO ATTORNEY'S ERROR — PERMISSION GRANTED TO FILE A BELATED PETITION FOR REVIEW. — An admission by an attorney for a criminal defendant that the petition for review was filed late due to a mistake on her part is good cause to grant permission to file a belated petition for review. Petition for Belated Review; petition granted. Hewett & Hewett, by: Carol Hewett, for petitioner. Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by: Alice Ann Burns, Deputy Atty. Gen., for respondent. PER CURIAM. In this criminal case the petitioner's convictions were affirmed by the Court of Appeals on June 22,1983. Petitioner wished to seek a review by this court, but his attorney, Carol Hewett, mistakenly thought that the time limit for filing a petition for review is 30 days instead of
the 17 days allowed by Rule 29. Petitioner now seeks permission to file a belated petition for review. His attorney has filed a letter assuming full responsibility for the mistake. The petition is therefore granted, and a period of 17 days is allowed for the filing of the petition for review. A copy of this order will be sent to the Committee on Professional Conduct. See our per curiam order, 265 Ark. 964 (1979).
