TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
                                              1.
      On August 4, 2014 I efiled a detailed request for documents to be in the clerks

record. Sometime in December or January I personally resent the same letter to Mrs.

Washington by email.

                                              2.

      The records that were produced were produced in no certain order and took

an extreme amount of time to determine what documents were included. This is

why counsel is filing this request so late.

                                              3.

      We plan to appeal all summary judgments in the case. One cannot appeal a

summary judgment if the order is not in the record. The order for 12/21/2012 does

not appear to be in the record. Also, live petitions must be in the record. The Third

Amended Petition was live when the summary judgment was granted. The date of

this petition is 12/13/2012. It does not appear to be in the record.

                                              4.

      The Appellant asks this court to direct the clerk to add these documents to

the record. Please request entire documents, as most documents presented are not

complete documents.
                            CONCLUSION & PRAYER

      The Clerk’s Record is still incomplete after many tries to obtain a complete

record.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, this Court is asked to obtain the

documents stated in a Second Supplemental Clerk’s Record from the Clerk.

Appellant asks for such other and further relief as it may be entitled to.

                                               Respectfully submitted,

                                               _____/s/ MB CHIMENE
