James H. Gentry v. Benjamin N. Smith

Opinion

Order entered December 19, 2018

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-01181-CV

JAMES H. GENTRY, Appellant

V.

BENJAMIN N. SMITH, Appellee

On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 199-03888-2018

ORDER

Before the Court is appellant’s December 3, 2018 “Motion for Complete Paper Copy of Clerk’s Record.” In his motion, appellant acknowledges receipt of a paper copy of the clerk’s record. He contends, however, that the clerk’s record is incomplete because the docket sheet shows “10/17/18 Correspondence, Request for Transcript” and that document is not included in the clerk’s record. The clerk’s record may be supplemented if a “relevant item” has been omitted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 34.5(c)(1). Appellant does not explain how the Request for Transcript is a relevant item necessary to this appeal. Accordingly, we DENY his motion.

Appellant’s amended brief correcting deficiencies noted in this Court’s November 5, 2018 letter is currently due on December 27, 2018. On the Court’s own motion, we extend that deadline to January 11, 2019.
