RIDGECREST HOLDINGS, LLC AND

V.
CITY OF DALLAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-18-12419
ORDER
Before Justices Whitehill, Molberg, and Nowell
This is an appeal from the trial court’s temporary injunction compelling appellant
Ridgecrest Holdings, LLC (Ridgecrest) to take, for health and safety reasons, certain remedial
steps to address Dallas City Code violations at 400 South Walton Walker Boulevard, a multi-
family apartment complex. Before the Court is the City of Dallas’s (City) motion for contempt.
The City alleges in the motion that Ridgecrest is violating the terms of the temporary injunction.
It asks that we grant the motion and find Ridgecrest in contempt and impose a daily fine until
they abate the violations or, alternatively, to refer this motion to the trial court. We GRANT the
motion in part as follows.
We refer the motion for contempt to the trial court for an evidentiary hearing and
determination of any appropriate relief. See TEX. R. APP. P. 29.4(a). We ORDER the trial court
to conduct a hearing and grant in writing any appropriate relief WITHIN THIRTY DAYS of
the date of this order.
We ORDER Felicia Pitre, Dallas County District Clerk, to file, WITHIN THIRTY-
FIVE DAYS of the date of this order, a supplemental clerk’s record containing any signed order
on the City’s motion for contempt or written notification that the trial court did not sign an order
on the motion.
We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Aiesha
Redmond, Presiding Judge of the 160th Judicial District Court; Ms. Pitre; and all parties.
We ABATE this appeal to allow the trial court to comply with this Court’s order. The
appeal will be reinstated in thirty-five days or when the Court receives the requested
supplemental clerk’s record, whichever occurs sooner.
