Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Appellant, Jesse Ray Williams, by his attorney, has filed for a rule on the clerk.

His attorney, Jesse L. Kearney, admits 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 our Per Curiam opinion dated February 5,1979, In Re: Belated Appeals in Criminal Cases.

A copy of this opinion will be forwarded to the Committee on Professional Conduct.

Purtle, J., not participating.
