Kevin Cook v. Monaghan Medical Corporation
ORDER Trial court case number: 2016-68279 Trial court: 333rd District Court of Harris County
Appellant, Kevin Cook, has filed a notice of the appeal of the trial court's final judgment, signed on January 18, 2019. Appellant also has filed a motion to extend the time to file his appellant's brief.
A clerk's record was filed in this appeal on June 4, 2019. However, a reporter's record has not been filed. Because the appellate record is not yet complete, appellant's brief is not yet due. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.1 (providing appellate record consists of clerk's record and, if necessary to appeal, reporter's record); 38.6 (providing date to file appellant's brief is later of date clerk's record or reporter's record is filed). Accordingly, appellant's motion to extend time is dismissed as moot.
On June 5, 2019, the Clerk of this Court notified appellant that the court reporter had not filed a reporter's record because appellant had not requested preparation of a reporter's record and had not paid, or made arrangements to pay, the fee for preparation of the record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c). The Clerk also notified appellant that unless he provided proof that he had paid, or made arrangements to pay, for the reporter's record, or is entitled to proceed without payment of costs by July 5, 2019, the Court might consider the appeal without a reporter's record.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Russell Lloyd
