Jonathan Demond Crews v. State

Opinion

Order entered August 22, 2014

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00051-CR

JONATHAN DEMOND CREWS, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F13-56357-M

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On July 31, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why the reporter’s record has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel; (3) counsel timely requested the reporter’s record; (4) Belinda Baraka is the court reporter who recorded the proceedings; (5) Ms. Baraka’s explanation for the delay in filing the record is her workload; and (6) Ms. Baraka requested until September 30, 2014 to file the record.

We ORDER Belinda Baraka, official court reporter of the 194th Judicial District Court to file the complete reporter’s record, including exhibits, by SEPTEMBER 30, 2014. Because the record is already more than three months overdue, no further extensions will be granted absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to Belinda Baraka, official court reporter, 194th Judicial District Court, and to counsel for all parties.
