       On June 12, 2019, Ms. Wagner filed a second notification of late record requesting an
additional thirty-day extension of time to file the record to July 10, 2019. The notification stated
Ms. Wagner had resigned her position as an official court reporter and was diligently working to
catch up on all pending records. By order dated June 13, 2019, Ms. Wagner’s request for an
additional extension was granted.

        On July 10, 2019, Ms. Wagner filed a third notification of late record requesting a third
extension of time to file the record to August 10, 2019. The notification stated Ms. Wagner is
diligently working to catch up on all pending records. By order dated July 15, 2019, Ms.

some medical issues that have prevented her from working on the record on a daily basis. The
request is GRANTED. The reporter’s record must be filed in this appeal no later than September
10, 2019. NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS OF TIME WILL BE GRANTED.
