recorded, or (3) written verification that appellant had not requested the reporter’s record. To

date, the reporter’s record has not been filed and we have had no communication from Ms.

Baraka.

We ORDER court reporter Belinda Baraka to file, WITHIN TWENTY-ONE DAYS

OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDER, the complete reporter’s record in this appeal. We caution

Ms. Baraka that the failure to do so may result in the Court taking whatever remedies it has available to ensure that the appeal proceeds in a timely fashion, which may include ordering that

she not sit until the complete reporter’s record is filed.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Ernest White,
