GREG GUTMAN, Appellant v. ERIC GORMLY, Appellee
On Appeal from the 95th District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-04002
ORDER
On January 14, 2021, we ordered appellant to file, no later than January 25, 2021, written verification he had paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for preparation of a supplemental reporter's record requested by appellee. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6(c)(3). Our order was without prejudice to appellant filing in the trial court a rule 34.6(c)(3) motion to determine the necessity of the supplemental record. See id.
On January 28, 2021, appellant informed the Court he had filed a motion under rule 34.6(c)(3) and was awaiting the trial court's ruling. Appellant subsequently informed the Court the trial court had determined appellee was responsible for the fee. A copy of the trial court's order is found on the county's online portal.
In light of the trial court's ruling, we VACATE our January 14th order. We ORDER appellee to file, no later than February 16, 2021, written verification he has paid or made arrangements to pay for the supplemental reporter's record. Upon receipt, the Court will set a deadline for the filing of that record. Should appellee fail to comply, the appeal will proceed on the reporter's record currently on file. The appeal remains at issue.
Our directive that appellee file the requested written verification does not preclude the Court from taxing costs differently upon disposition of the appeal. See id. 34.6(c)(3), 43.4.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to court reporter Wynne A. Pauley and the parties.
