        "text": "Per Curiam.\nAppellant, Richard Brown, by and through his attorney, David O. Bowden, moves this court to file a belated brief. After a final extension, Brown\u2019s brief was due on April 23, 2008. On April 22, 2008, Brown timely filed a motion to extend the time in which to file his brief, which we denied on April 23,2008. He then submitted a motion to file a belated brief on April 28, 2008. On May 7, 2008, Brown tendered his brief to this court\u2019s clerk, at which time he also filed an amended and supplemented copy of his motion to file a belated brief.\nWe will accept a criminal appellant\u2019s belated brief to prevent an appeal from being aborted. Wertz v. State, 373 Ark. 260, 284 S.W.3d 481 (2008) (citing Stewart v. State, 319 Ark. 242, 889 S.W.2d 771 (1995)). However, good cause must be shown to grant the motion. Id. (citing Strom v. State, 356 Ark. 224, 147 S.W.3d 689 (2004) (per curiam) (holding that appellate counsel\u2019s admitted failure to timely file the brief constituted good cause to grant motion for belated brief)).\nHere, Mr. Bowden states in the motion that his client, Richard Brown, was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to a term of imprisonment for life. Furthermore, Mr. Bowden acknowledges his own fault in failing to timely file his brief. In line with current precedent, this court grants Brown\u2019s motion to file belated brief, and we refer the matter to the Committee on Professional Conduct.\nMotion granted.",
