Lloyd Douglas v. City of Kemp, Texas

Opinion

Order entered April 30, 2014

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00475-CV

LLOYD DOUGLAS, Appellant

V.

CITY OF KEMP, TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 422nd Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 89460-422

ORDER

Pending before the Court are appellant’s April 17, 2014 motion to extend time to file

notice of appeal and court reporter Donna R. Gehl’s April 24, 2014 request to not be ordered to file the reporter’s record because appellant has neither requested the record nor made arrangements to pay for it. We GRANT appellant’s extension request. The notice of appeal filed April 17, 2014 is deemed timely for jurisdictional purposes. Because appellant filed a docketing statement on April 25, 2014, the day after Ms. Gehl’s request was made, and represented he had requested the record and made payment arrangements that day, we DENY Ms. Gehl’s request. We ORDER Ms. Gehl to file the record no later than June 2, 2014.
