Per Curiam.

¶1Appellant, Connie M. Combs, by her attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

¶2Her attorney, Marquis E. Jones, admits that the failure to file the record in time was due to a mistake on his part.

¶3 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, 265 Ark. 964. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.
