An order issued by the Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas on December 3, 2019, addresses the appeal of Zia Ul-Haq Sheikh against Jane Doe, originating from the 298th Judicial District Court of Dallas County (Cause No. DC-18-08987). The court notes that the reporter's record for the appeal has not been filed and is due by December 6, 2019. The court reviews a contest filed by court reporter Marcey J. Poeckes regarding the appellant's affidavit of inability to pay costs and a motion from the appellant for an extension of time to file his brief. The court refrains from acting on the contest, stating that disputes over a party's inability to pay are governed by Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 145 and should be resolved by the trial court. The motion for an extension is denied as premature since the appellant's brief is not yet due due to the absence of the reporter's record. The court independently extends the deadline for the filing of the reporter's record to January 6, 2020. The Clerk of the Court is instructed to send copies of this order to the presiding judge of the trial court, the court reporter, and the parties involved. Signed by Justice Ken Molberg.
