ADRIAN BARRERA, Appellant, v.

ORDER ABATING APPEAL

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Perkes and Longoria Order Per Curiam

This matter is currently before the Court on appellant’s motion to abate the appeal,

or in the alternative, extend time to file the appellant’s brief. According to appellant’s motion, appellant requires the reporter’s records of a pretrial suppression hearing that occurred on February 7, 2013 and March 4, 2013 in order to adequately brief and prepare the appeal in this cause. Appellant thus requests that we either abate the appeal in order

2

to have the transcriptions prepared or extend time to file the brief. We GRANT appellant’s motion and ABATE this appeal for a period of thirty days to allow time for the pertinent records to be transcribed. The Court directs the court reporter of the 138th District Court to prepare and file these transcripts within this specified period of time. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.6((d). The appeal will be reinstated upon the filing of these additional records, and appellant’s brief will be due twenty-one days thereafter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
