In re Cheri Vega, Relator
ORDER Trial court case number: 2008-11473 Trial court: 309th District Court of Harris County
On August 24, 2016, relator, Cheri Vega, filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to vacate or reverse the respondent trial judge's April 4, 2016 "Order on Motion to Compel Payment of Amicus Fees, Awarding Attorney's Fees and Sanction" and the May 12, 2016 "Order on Motion to Disqualify Amicus Attorney." With the petition, relator filed a notice of related case, 01-16-00369-CV, an interlocutory appeal that was dismissed on August 11, 2016, and an appendix with some documents from that case.
In addition, although relator's petition cites to the clerk's and reporter's records from the prior appeal, she failed to include the relevant excerpts. It is a relator's burden to provide this Court with a sufficient record to establish her right to mandamus relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(2) (noting that "appendix should not contain any evidence or other item that is not necessary for a decision"); 52.7(a)(1) (stating that relator must file with petition "a certified or sworn copy of every document that is material to the relator's claim for relief . . ."); Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 837 (Tex. 1992) (orig. proceeding). Thus, we ORDER relator, within 10 days of the date of this order, to file a supplemental appendix containing the relevant portions of the clerk's and reporter's records that are material to her claim for relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a), (b).
Finally, the Court requests a response to the petition for writ of mandamus by any real party in interest. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.8(b)(1). The response, if any, shall be filed within 30 days from the date of this order. See id. 2, 52.4.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Laura Carter Higley
