We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Lawrence Mitchell; (3) Cheryl Dixon is the court reporter who recorded the proceedings; and (4) Ms. Dixon's explanation for the delay in tiling the record is her workload and a death in the family.
