WILLIAM WESLEY SKIVER,
               APPELLANT,

V.

STATE OF ARKANSAS,
               APPELLEE,

CR 96-527




MOTION FOR RULE ON THE CLERK





MOTION GRANTED.










     William Wesley Skiver, by his attorney, Jon A. Williams, has
filed a motion for a rule on the clerk.  His attorney admits by
motion that the record was tendered late 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.
