Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.

ORDER DIRECTING TRANSFER OF EXHIBIT

          Appellant, Michael Stephenson, was convicted by the trial court of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and sentenced to twenty years confinement. By Order of the Texas Supreme Court, his appeal was transferred from the Second Court of Appeals to this Court. Pending before this Court is the State’s Motion to Transfer Exhibit to Court of Appeals by which it requests that State’s Exhibit 1, an audio CD of two calls setting up a drug deal/delivery, is necessary for review by this Court. The Certificate of Conference reflects that Appellant’s counsel opposes the motion. We grant the motion.

          The reporter’s record contains a photocopy of the audio CD which was introduced into evidence as State’s Exhibit 1 during a hearing on Appellant’s motion to suppress. By his brief, Appellant challenges the trial court’s ruling on his motion to suppress. Thus, to review Appellant’s appeal under the appropriate standard, this Court hereby directs Robert L. French, Official Court Reporter of the 211th Judicial District, to forward the original audio CD marked as State’s Exhibit 1 to the Clerk of this Court on or before July 7, 2008, for inclusion in the appellate record.

          It is so ordered.
