State ex rel. Newsome v. Hack
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court vacated its earlier judgment granting Relator a writ of mandamus and entered a judgment denying the writ, holding that because a transcript could not be located, the earlier judgment cannot be executed.
Relator filed an original action seeking a writ of mandamus to compel Respondent, a former Marion County court reporter, to inform him of the cost to obtain a copy of his 2009 sentencing transcript. The Supreme Court granted the writ. The Court then vacated its judgment, holding that where the only evidence indicating that a transcript of Relator's sentencing hearing existed was the trial court's incorrect statement to that effect, this Court's previous judgment could not be executed.
