RICHARD DALTON RICHMOND        
 
          Appellant 
 
     v. 

 
STATE OF ARKANSAS                  Motion for Rule on the Clerk 
 
 
          Appellee                 Motion granted 






                           Per Curiam.


    Appellant, Richard Dalton Richmond, by his attorney, Charles E.
Tilmon, Jr., has filed a motion for rule on the clerk.  His
attorney admits that the record was tendered late. 
    We find that such error, admittedly made by the attorney for
a criminal defendant, is good cause to grant the motion.  See per
curiam order dated February 5, 1979.  In re:  Belated Appeals in
Criminal Cases, 265 Ark. 964; Terry v. State, 272 Ark. 243, 613 S.W.2d 90 (1981). 
    A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on
Professional Conduct.
