     Dear Judge Burns:

             On October 27, 2015, this Court ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why the
     reporter’s record has not been filed. To date, we have not received the findings or the reporter’s
     record. Therefore, please notify us of the status of the findings within TEN DAYS of the date of this
     letter. We appreciate your attention to this matter.

                                                             Sincerely,

                                                   /s/       Lisa Matz, Clerk
