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.
