MOTION TO REINSTATE REQUEST FOR REPORTERS RECORD
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS FIFTH DISTRICT OF
TEXAS:
NOW COMES Frank Adler, court-appointed attorney for appellant and requests
that the Court grant this Motion to Reinstate Request for Reporters Record. In support,
counsel shows:
Counsel filed a Notice of Appeal and Request for Preparation of Reporter’s
Record with the Dallas County District Clerk on October 2, 2015. Appellant’s Counsel
admits that he did not properly notify the Court Reporter of the Request for Reporter’s
Record on October 2, 2015 and was unaware that she still had not been notified on
October 28, 2015.
Appellant’s Counsel has since properly notified the Court Reporter and it is his
understanding that the Reporter’s Record will be very brief as the parties to the lawsuit
had executed a Mediated Settlement Agreement and the only official record made on
the date of the termination trial was a Mediated Settlement Agreement prove-up.
WHEREFORE, PREMISE CONSIDERED, Movant, Frank Adler, prays the Court
grant his motion and give him a one-time exception for failing to properly notify the
Court Reporter of his Request for Reporter’s Record.
Respectfully submitted,
Frank Adler
