IN RE JAMES ALLON STUFFLEBEAM, Relator
Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
MEMORANDUM OPINION1
Relator, James Allon Stufflebeam, filed this original habeas corpus
proceeding after the district court held him in contempt and committed him to
county jail for failing to comply with the district court’s discovery order and
divorce decree. Relator’s petition does not comply with rule 52 of the Texas Rules
1
Relator has identified the underlying case as In the Matter of the Marriage of Judy
C. Stufflebeam and James Allon Stufflebeam, No. 2011-23850, in the 257th
District Court of Harris County, Texas, the Honorable Judy Warne presiding.
of Procedure because it is not properly certified, see TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(j), and
does not contain “a properly authenticated transcript of any relevant testimony
from any underlying proceeding, including any exhibits offered in evidence, or a
statement that no testimony was adduced in connection with the matter
complained[,]” TEX. R. APP. P. 52.7(a)(2). Without a record of the proceedings
below, this Court cannot determine whether relator is entitled to the relief he seeks.
Accordingly, we deny relator’s petition for writ of habeas corpus without prejudice
to his re-filing a petition in compliance with rule 52.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Keyes, Massengale, and Brown.
