Jose Inez Martinez v. State

Order entered November 7, 2014 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00869-CR JOSE INEZ MARTINEZ, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F13-00328-Y ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeal. On October 29, 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 entitled to proceed without payment for the record; (3) court-appointed counsel timely requested preparation of the record; and (4) court reporter’s Sharon Hazlewood’s explanation for the delay in filing the record is her workload. Because the record is already two months overdue, we DO NOT ADOPT the finding that Ms. Hazlewood requires an additional sixty days to file the record. We ORDER Sharon Hazlewood, official court reporter of the Criminal District Court No. 7, to file the reporter’s record by DECEMBER 31, 2014. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to Sharon Hazlewood, official court reporter, Criminal District Court No. 7, and to counsel for all parties. /s/ LANA MYERS JUSTICE
