ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s September 9, 2014 motion for authentication of
documents. Appellant has informed the Court that the two orders in Tab 1 of the appendix in his
amended brief are not included in the clerk’s record. The trial court clerk has informed him that
the two orders cannot be located. Appellee has not agreed to stipulate to the orders.
Accordingly, we GRANT appellant’s motion as follows: We ORDER the Honorable
Lynn Cherry, Judge of the 301st Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas, to conduct a
hearing, WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDER, to determine what
constitutes an accurate copy of: (1) the March 12, 2014 Order Granting Lynette Grange’s Motion
to Dismiss for Failure to Give Security for Costs; and (2) March 12, 2014 Order on Various
Motions Set on March 12, 2014. Judge Cherry shall make findings of fact and conclusions of
law.
We ORDER Gary Fitzsimmons, Dallas County District Clerk, to file a supplemental
clerk’s record, WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS ORDER,
containing: (1) the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law from the hearing; and (2)
copies of the two orders determined by the trial court to be accurate.
We ORDER Kim Allen, Official Court Reporter for the 301st Judicial District Court of
Dallas County, Texas, to file, WITHIN FORTY-FIVE DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS
ORDER, the reporter’s record of the hearing.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order by electronic
transmission to Judge Cherry, Gary Fitzsimmons, Kim Allen, appellant, and counsel for
appellee.
We ABATE this appeal to allow the trial court to conduct the hearing. The appeal will
be reinstated either forty-five days from the date of this order or when the Court receives the
supplemental clerk’s record and reporter’s record, whichever occurs sooner.
