IN THE INTEREST OF L.J.K. AND C.A.K., CHILDREN,
From the 57th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2018CI01008 Honorable Mary Lou Alvarez, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice.
Appellant, who is acting pro se on appeal, appeals from orders entered in the underlying suit affecting the parent-child relationship. Appellant's brief is due July 21, 2021.
On July 12, 2021, appellant filed a "Motion to Compel [sic] Alternatively Motion for Independent Review of Court Reporter's Record and Extension of Brief Due Date." In his motion, appellant complains the Ms. Mary Beth Sasala, one of the court reporters responsible for filing the reporter's record in this appeal, has refused to file the reporter's record from a January 6, 2021 hearing and a February 5, 2021 hearing. Ms. Sasala filed her record from the January 6 hearing on June 1, 2021. She has informed this court that there is no record from the February 5 hearing.
Therefore, appellant's request to compel Ms. Sasala to file the records and his request to review the record is DENIED. We GRANT appellant's motion for an extension of time in which to file his brief. Appellant is hereby ORDERED to file his brief no later than August 20, 2021. Further requests for an extension of time will not be granted absent extenuating circumstances.
