anted. Considering the evidence of relator’s repeated good faith attempts
to obtain the transcript, we find the court of appeal erred in declining to reach the
merits of the application based on a violation of Rule 4-5 of the Uniform Rules of
the Courts of Appeal. The case is remanded to court of appeal to consider relator’s
arguments on the merits, including his request that the court of appeal order the court
reporter to produce the transcript directly.
