ORDER DIRECTING FILING OF REPORTER'S RECORD

__________________________________

Before QUINN and REAVIS, JJ., and BOYD, SJ. (1)

Appellant, Kerry Len Bradford, appeals his probation revocation for possession of a controlled substance. Probation was revoked on May 6, 2002, wherein appellant received two years confinement in a state jail facility. Notice of appeal was timely filed in the trial court on June 17, 2002. The clerk's record was subsequently filed on July 5, 2002, and the reporter's record was due to be filed on July 5, 2002, and extended to August 5, 2002. However, August 5th came and went without the filing of the reporter's record. On August 19, 2002, this Court provided, via U.S. mail, a reporter's request form to David Fortenberry, the official court reporter, to be used by him in requesting additional time to prepare the record. On August 30, 2002, this Court received a request from David Fortenberry asking that we grant him an extension until September 10, 2002, to prepare the record. To date, approximately 80 days have lapsed since the original due date to file the reporter's record and it has not been received. Nor has the reporter explained the latest default.

Accordingly, we order David Fortenberry, the official court reporter for the 242nd District Court of Hale County, to transcribe and file with the Clerk of this Court a reporter's record as required by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and encompassing the trial had in cause number B12895-9802. Said record shall include all argument, evidence, and exhibits presented to the court during trial, as well as any pre-trial and post-trial hearings conducted by the court in said cause. We further order David Fortenberry to file the complete reporter's record in a manner by which it will be received by the Clerk of this Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on October 4, 2002. No further motions for extension of time will be considered. Lastly, the failure to file the reporter's record by the date stated herein may result in a hearing requiring Mr. Fortenberry to show cause why he should not be held in contempt, a complaint to the body governing certified court reporters, appropriate sanctions, or abatement and remand to the trial court for appropriate action.

It is so ordered.
