| 11/01/2004 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On September 1, 2004, this court ordered appellant's counsel William J. Taylor to file the fast track statement within 20 days of the district court's entry of the order denying appellant's petition. A copy of the district court order was filed in this court on September 16, 2004. fn1[The order was actually entered by the district court on August 23, 2004.] To date, no fast track statement has been filed. Taylor shall file the fast track statement and appendix within 10 days of the date of this order, or this court will order Taylor to appear personally before a single justice of this court and show cause why he should not be held in contempt and sanctioned further, including referral to the State Bar. | | 04-20085
|
| 12/13/2004 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On September 1, 2004, this court ordered appellant's counsel William J. Taylor to file the fast track statement within 20 days of the district court's entry of the order denying appellant's petition. A copy of the district court order was filed in this court on September 16, 2004. Because no fast track statement was filed, on November 1, 2004, this court ordered Taylor to file the fast track statement on or before November 12, 2004. Taylor was warned that failure to file the fast track statement would result in this court ordering Taylor to appear personally and show cause why he should not be sanctioned further and referred to the State Bar of Nevada. Taylor has failed to file the fast track statement and appendix, or to respond to this court's order of November 1, 2004, or otherwise communicate with this court regarding this appeal. Cause appearing, Taylor is ordered to appear personally before this court on December 21, 2004, at 9:30 a.m., in Carson City. Taylor shall be prepared to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and referred to the State Bar of Nevada for investigation and imposition of appropriate discipline based on Taylor's neglect of this matter and disregard of this court's orders. Any evidence which Taylor desires to present on his behalf shall be filed in affidavit form on or before December 17, 2004.

| 12/20/2004 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. Vacating Show Cause Hearing. On December 13, 2004, this court ordered William Taylor to appear personally before this court on December 21, 2004. Taylor has now contacted this court and has filed an affidavit in response to this court's order of December 13, 2004, as well as the fast track statement and appendix. Because Taylor has now complied with the requirements of NRAP 3C and the orders of this court, and good cause appearing, the show cause hearing scheduled for December 21, 2004, is hereby vacated. This court should not have to utilize its scarce resources reminding attorneys of deadlines and enforcing compliance with those deadlines. Although the court has elected not to sanction Taylor in the instant case, Taylor is cautioned that this court will not tolerate his failure to comply with the rules of appellate procedure and orders of this court in the future. | | 04-23138

| 01/31/2005 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. Denying Motion to Strike. On January 12, 2005, respondent filed a motion to strike appellant's fast track statement. The motion is opposed. Respondent argues that the fast track statement should be stricken because appellant did not file an adequate appendix and appellant has failed to comply with NRAP 3c(e)(2). Although the fast track statement is deficient in this respect, this court concludes that such deficiency will not impede this court's review of this matter. Accordingly, the motion to strike is denied. Respondent shall file and serve the fast track response within 20 days of this order. | | 05-01990

On February 18, 2005, counsel for appellant filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of record in this appeal. Because counsel for appellant has fulfilled the obligations placed on trial counsel by NRAP 3C(b), the motion is granted. fn1[The granting of this motion is, of course, conditioned upon trial counsel's full cooperation with appellate counsel during the pendency of this appeal.] We remand this appeal to the district court for the limited purpose of securing counsel for appellant. The district court shall have 30 days from the date of this order to appoint counsel for appellant. Within 5 days from the date of appointment, the district court clerk shall transmit to the clerk of this court a copy of the district court's written or minute order appointing appellate counsel. | | 05-03840
