Cortney Woods v. State

Opinion

Order entered October 8, 2018

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00444-CR

CORTNEY WOODS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7 Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F16-76149-Y

ORDER

The clerk’s record shows appellant is indigent and notified the court reporter on April 17,

2018 that he was requesting the reporter’s record. After we granted an extension, the reporter’s record was due July 12, 2018. When it was not filed, we notified court reporter Vearneas Faggett that it was overdue and gave her thirty days in which to file the record. On September 7, 2018, we ordered Ms. Faggett to file the reporter’s record by September 21, 2018. We cautioned Ms. Faggett that the failure to file the record by that date would result in the Court taking whatever remedies it has available to ensure that the appeal proceeds in a timely fashion, which might include ordering that she not sit until the complete reporter’s record is filed. To date, the reporter’s record has not been filed and we have had no communication from Ms. Faggett.

We ORDER court reporter Vearneas Faggett NOT TO SIT until she has filed the complete reporter’s record in this appeal.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Stephanie Fargo, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 7; Vearneas Faggett, official court reporter, Criminal District Court No. 7; to the Dallas County Auditor’s Office; and to counsel for all parties.
