#### Earl SKILES v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 97-515

947 S.W.2d 14

Supreme Court of Arkansas

Opinion delivered July 7, 1997

Keith Watkins, for appellant.

*366No response.

Per Curiam.

Earl Skiles, by his attorney, has filed a motion for a rule on the clerk which we treat as a motion for belated appeal.

His attorney, Keith Watkins, admits in his motion that the notice of appeal was filed before the judgment due to a mistake on his part.

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.
