Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00556-CR
JASON ALLEN SKINNER, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-00955-M
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On October 24, 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 appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel; (3)
appellant timely requested preparation of the reporter’s record; (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 until December 31, 2014 to file the
reporter’s record.
We ORDER Belinda Baraka, official court reporter of the 194th Judicial District Court,
to file the complete reporter’s record in this appeal, including all exhibits admitted into evidence,
by 4:00 P.M. on DECEMBER 31, 2014. Because the record is already more than four months
overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If the complete record, including all exhibits, 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 complete 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.
