05/10/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On January 16, 2004, and January 20, 2004, Sunrise and Baig timely filed their respective opening briefs. fn1[Both opening briefs were mailed to the clerk of this court for filing on January 15, 2004. See NRAP 25(1)(a).] Jillean Williams ('Williams') has moved to strike the opening briefs and dismiss the appeal in Docket No. 42023. Sunrise opposes the motion and requests attorney fees for having to file the opposition. As indicated, the opening briefs were filed timely. No good cause appearing, we deny the motion. fn2[We deny as moot Baig's motion for an extension of time to file an opposition to the motion. The clerk of this court shall return, unfiled, the opposition received on February 17, 2004.] We further deny Sunrise's request for attorney fees. fn3[We deny Williams' motion for leave to file a reply to Sunrise's opposition.] We note that Baig's opening brief was not accompanied by a certificate of compliance and proof of service that the brief was served on all parties. Baig shall have 10 days from the date of this order to transmit to this court the certificate of compliance for the opening brief and file proof of service of the opening brief. To date, several transcripts have not been prepared and filed with this court. fn4[Only the May 6, 2003, and May 9, 2003, transcripts have been filed with this court.] See NRAP 9(b). Our cursory review of the opening briefs indicates that they contain citations to the appendices only. We conclude that this court has all the transcripts necessary for the resolution of this appeal and that court reporter Norma Jean Silverman is not obligated to file with this court any other transcript for this appeal.
