The Court REINSTATES the appeals.

On October 28, 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 appeals; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel; (3) counsel timely requested the reporter’s record; (4) Debi Harris, court reporter for Auxiliary Court No. 8, is the court reporter who recorded the proceedings; (5) Ms. Harris’s explanation for the delay in filing the record is due to a family death and other issues, she overlooked the record; and (6) Ms. Harris requested thirty days from the January 6, 2015 findings to file the record.

We GRANT Ms. Harris’s January 2, 2015 request for an extension of time to file the reporter’s record. We ORDER Ms. Harris to file the complete reporter’s record, including all exhibits admitted into evidence, by FEBRUARY 9, 2015.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to Debi Harris, court reporter, Auxiliary Court No. 8, and to counsel for all parties.
