STATE of Arkansas CR 93-1098 878 S.W.2d 377 Supreme Court of Arkansas Opinion delivered June 6, 1994 Motion to Accept a Belated Return of Writ of Certiorari; denied. A. Wayne Davis, for appellant. No response. PER CURIAM. Appellant's motion to accept belated return of writ is denied. ROBERT L. BROWN, Justice, dissenting. Appellant Larry Dale Baxter was five days late in filing his supplemental record. That record was prepared to support his constitutional point that a disparity exists in the disposition of drug offenses. We granted him leave to file the supplement.

We routinely, however, grant these motions to file late transcripts in criminal cases when an attorney admits fault, and we notify the Committee on Professional Conduct.
