Opinion of the Court — Morrow

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

This is an appeal from an order refusing to issue a mandamus against the court stenographer requiring him to prepare a statement of facts in an appeal from a habeas corpus case.

The record on the appeal in that case, No. 6332, was filed in this court on the same day that this proceeding was filed. A few days later there was filed in that case a statement of facts. From this we infer that the court "stenographer complied with the request of appellant for the preparation of the statement of facts, and that even if he was entitled to a mandamus it would now be unnecessary.

This proceeding is not in a condition authorizing its consideration. The Assistant Attorney General has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for the reason that the transcript is incomplete. The law requires the binding of the transcript under the seal and certificate of the clerk. Revised Statutes, Art. 2114; Paris & G. N. R. Co. v. Armstrong, 83 S. W. Rep., 28 ; Code of Crim. Procedure, Art. 929; Vernon’s Tex. Crim. Statutes, Vol. 2, page 891, Note 11.

The motion to dismiss is granted.

Dismissed.-
