This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to David Daniel Lauer's appeal from a judgment of conviction for capital murder. The subject of this proceeding is Mr. Joel Silva, court reporter for the 331st District Court.

This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the said Joel Silva will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as above ordered if the Clerk of this Court receives the statement of facts by September 3, 2002.

It is ordered July 5, 2002.
