Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00296-CR
ROBERT EARL BUCKLEY, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-61612-M
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On October 23, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make 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 entitled to proceed without payment for the record; (3)
counsel requested the reporter’s record on March 7, 2014; (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 thirty days from the December 16, 2014
findings to file the reporter’s record.
We note that the reporter’s record is six months overdue and the appeal has been abated
for nearly sixty days pending receipt of the trial court’s findings. Accordingly, we ORDER
Belinda Baraka, official court reporter of the 194th Judicial District Court, to file the reporter’s
record by 4:00 p.m. on JANUARY 15, 2015. No further extensions will be granted. If the
record is not filed by the date and time specified, the Court will order that Belinda Baraka not sit
as a court reporter until she files the record in this appeal.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Ernest White, Presiding Judge, 194th Judicial District Court; Belinda Baraka, official
court reporter, 194th Judicial District Court; and to counsel for all parties.
