RE: Gentry v. State, Nos. 01-14-00335-CR and 01-14-00336-CR
Dear Mr. Prine:
In conformance with the Court’s order granting the extension of time to file, no
further extensions, the State files its appellate brief in the above-referenced cause.
In preparing its answer to Point of Error One, the State used the copy of the
reporter’s record of the certification hearing provided by Appellant’s attorney. This
record was not filed. Because the State believes that the certification of a fourteen-
year-old juvenile is a serious matter, it filed a motion with the Court to have the
reporter’s record filed. The State has since spoken with the court reporter, who
related that the record sent to Appellant’s attorney was a draft, and that she would be
filing a master index volume and an exhibits volume, as well as correcting the names
of certain witnesses and more carefully proofing the record. Thus, it is possible that
the record references reflected in the State’s brief may not correspond to the
reporter’s record, to be filed with this Court. The State will file a motion to amend
this section of the brief to conform the record references to the reporter’s record, if
necessary.
Please bring this letter to the attention of the panel and file this letter amongst the
papers of this cause. Thank you for your usual prompt and courteous attention.
Sincerely,
/s/ Gail Kikawa McConnell
Assistant District Attorney
Cc: Michael Diaz, Appellant’s Attorney
