IKINGMULA FINLEY, Appellant v. ZELALEM HUNEGNAW, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-24-02251-A
ORDER
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE.
The reporter's record in this case has not been filed. By letter dated September 24, 2024, we informed appellant the court reporter notified us that the reporter's record had not been filed because appellant had not (1) requested the record; or (2) paid for or made arrangements to pay for the record. We directed appellant to provide the Court with written verification showing the reporter's record had been requested and that appellant had paid for or made arrangements to pay for the record or had been found entitled to proceed without payment of costs.
We cautioned appellant that failure to provide the required documentation within ten days might result in the appeal being ordered submitted without the reporter's record. Appellant responded with a copy of an October 1, 2024 request for the "release of all records to this case # CC-24-02251-A and reporting to fifth appeal court on the second floor." The request is not directed to a particular court reporter and our records indicate Deputy Court Reporter Sheryl Ann Dennie has not received the request.
The Court received notice on September 24, 2024 that Ms. Dennie was the reporter for the final hearing in this case.
So that this appeal can proceed, we ORDER Ms. Dennie to file, within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order, the reporter's record, if any, from the April 24, 2024 proceeding in this case.
Our records indicate appellant is entitled to proceed without payment of costs, so the record should be filed without payment of costs.
