desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed
counsel; (3) counsel made timely requests for preparation of the records; (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; (6) Ms. Baraka stated she could file the record within thirty
days of the January 21, 2014 findings; and (7) the clerk’s record can be filed within thirty days of
the January 21, 2014 findings.
