Christin Lee Gorby v. State ( 2020 )

Order entered May 6, 2020 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-00935-CR No. 05-19-00936-CR CHRISTIN LEE GORBY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 283rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. F19-00375-T & F18-29750-T ORDER The reporter’s record was initially due November 25, 2019. According to official court reporter Vearneas Faggett, she reported voir dire, the motion for new trial hearing, and two admonishment hearings, and deputy official reporter Yolanda Atkins reported the five-day jury trial. On February 4, 2020, Ms. Faggett notified the Court that Ms. Atkins had not completed her portion of the record because Ms. Faggett failed to notify her it was due. Ms. Faggett asked for a 30-day extension for Ms. Atkins, stating she might possibly need additional time beyond that. We granted an extension until March 4, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P.35.3(c). On March 3, Ms. Atkins requested an additional seven days in which to file the reporter’s record. We granted the request and ordered the reporter’s record due on March 16, 2020. In the meantime, Ms. Faggett filed a letter informing the Court that she sent her completed volumes to Ms. Atkins. To date, no reporter’s record has been filed, and we have had no communication from Ms. Atkins. We ORDER the complete reporter’s record filed by May 13, 2020. We caution deputy official reporter Yolanda Atkins that the failure to file the complete reporter’s record by that date will result in the Court taking whatever remedies it has available, including ordering Ms. Atkins not sit, until the record is filed. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Lela Mays, Presiding Judge, 283rd Judicial District Court; to Vearneas Faggett, office court reporter, 283rd Judicial District Court; Yolanda Atkins, official deputy court reporter; and to counsel for all parties. /s/ LANA MYERS JUSTICE
