        "text": "Per Curiam.\nCarl Stewart, by his counsel Hugh Finkelstein, asks to file a belated brief in his appeal of a criminal conviction. The brief was due December 12, 1994. It was tendered December 15, 1994. Mr. Finkelstein offers a litany of reasons, all of which amount to nothing more than saying he put off \u201cfinalizing\u201d the brief until the last day when his schedule went awry. Although he says the delay was due to circumstances beyond his control, the facts he states show only mismanagement and failure to anticipate possible variances in court scheduling of unrelated matters in which he was involved after waiting until the last day to file the brief.\nWe will accept a criminal appellant\u2019s belated brief to prevent an appeal being aborted. Hallman v. State, 287 Ark. 391, 698 S.W.2d 803 (1985). Although Mr. Finkelstein apologizes for failing to meet the deadline, he does not admit fault. We will, however, treat his failure to state good cause as an admission of fault and forward a copy of this opinion to the Committee on Professional Conduct. Anderson v. State, 277 Ark. 391, 641 S.W.2d 715 (1982).\nMotion granted.",
