MARK ANTHONY SPEERS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-27999-M
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On August 1, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why the reporter's record has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel; (3) counsel timely requested preparation of the record; (4) Belinda Baraka is the court reporter who recorded the proceedings; (5) Ms. Baraka's explanation for the delay in filing the record is her workload; and (6) Ms. Baraka requested that she be given until October 31, 2014 to file the reporter's record.
We ORDER Belinda Baraka, official court reporter of the 194th Judicial District Court to file the complete reporter's record, including all exhibits, by OCTOBER 31, 2014. Because the record is already more than three months overdue, no further extensions will be granted absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the Honorable Ernest White, Presiding Judge, 194th Judicial District Court; Belinda Baraka, official court reporter, 194th Judicial District Court; and to counsel for all parties.
