ARK.] 381 No response. PER CURIAM. Clarence Manning, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk. His attorney, Chris Jester, admits in his motion that the record was tendered 48 days late due to a mistake on his part. [1] We find that such an error, admittedly made by the attorney for a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion. See In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964 (1979) (per curiam). The motion is, therefore, granted. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
