The appellant, James Eldridge Phillips, has filed a motion for rule on the clerk. His attorney, Robert Meurer, failed to give timely notice of appeal, and, as a result, the clerk has refused to file the transcript. We will treat this acknowledgment as a motion for belated appeal and grant the motion. A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct. See Harkness v. State, 264 Ark. 561, 572 S.W.2d 835 (1978).
