03/04/2002Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On December 19, 2001, this court entered an order noting that appellant had failed to file a case appeal statement and had not complied with NRAP 9(a). That order directed appellant to file a case appeal statement in the district court and file two certified copies of the case appeal statement with this court, file and serve a transcript request form or a certificate indicating that no transcripts are being requested, or show cause why sanctions should not be imposed. On January 24, 2002, appellant filed a transcript request form. It is not clear whether appellant intends to request the preparation of certain transcripts, or was intending to file a certificate indicating that no transcripts are being requested. Additionally, we note that the transcript request form was not accompanied by a certificate of service. Because the transcript request form that was filed is deficient, and in light of the directions listed below in this order, appellant need not file a certificate of service for the January 24, 2002, transcript request form. To date, appellant has not filed an opening brief or appendix, and has not communicated with this court in any way regarding this failure to comply with this court's briefing deadlines. We admonish counsel for appellant, attorney Jeffrey A. Cogan, for failing to comply with the procedural rules and orders of this court. We do not expect any further delays in the briefing of this appeal. Appellant shall, within 10 days from the date of this order, file a case appeal statement in the district court and file, with this court, two certified copies of the case appeal statement; file and serve a proper transcript request form or certificate indicating that no transcripts are being requested; or show cause why sanctions should not be imposed. Finally, appellant shall file and serve the opening brief and appendix within 40 days from the date of this order. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(2). 02-03853

07/02/2002Order/CounselFiled Order/Sanctions. Because of the significant delays cause by Jeffrey A. Cogan's repeated failures to comply with this court's procedural rules and orders, we believe the imposition of sanctions against Mr. Cogan is appropriate. Accordingly Mr. Cogan shall personally pay the sum of $500 to the Clark County Law Library within 15 days from the date of this order. Within that same time period, Mr. Cogan shall file with this court a certificate or affidavit informing this court that the sanction has been paid. Again, we direct appellant to comply with NRAP 9(a) by filing a proper transcripts request form or certificate indicating that no transcript are being requested within 10 days from the date of this order. Additionaly, appellant shall file and serve the opening brief and appendix within 20 days from the date of this order. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(2). We caution Mr. Cogan that failure to comply with this order may result in the imposition of additional sanctions, including referral to the State Bar of Nevada. 02-11345

Mr. Cogan shall have 30 days from the date of this order to pay the sum of $500 to the Clark County Law Library and to file with this court a certificate or affidavit informing this court that the sanction has been paid.

02/20/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On February 12, 2003, appellant Sherry Lynn Rutherford submitted a letter requesting rehearing on this court's order. Appellant is represented by counsel in this appeal and has not been granted leave to file papers in proper person. No action will be taken on appellant's proper person letter. The remittitur is due to issue March 3, 2003. We order the issuance of the remittitur stayed to provide appellant's counsel an opportunity to file a petition for rehearing on appellant's behalf. Appellant shall have 15 days from the date of this order to file a petition for rehearing. If appellant's counsel does not file a petition for rehearing within 15 days, the remittitur shall issue 20 days from the date of this order. Appellant shall proceed hereafter by and through counsel and shall address concerns relating to this appeal to counsel of record. 03-02842

08/27/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On April 7, 2003, appellant submitted a proper person letter requesting this court to recall the remittitur. Having reviewed appellant's letter, we conclude that appellant has failed to identify any inadvertence, fraud, imposition, false suggestion, misapprehension or mistake of fact in our decision affirming the judgment of the district court. fn1[Because we have reviewed the proper person document on its merits, we direct the clerk of this court to file that document. NRAP 46(b).] Consequently, we deny appellant's request to recall the remittitur. Additionally, because we decline to grant appellant permission to file any additional proper person documents in this appeal, the clerk of this court shall immediately return, unfiled, any proper person documents submitted by appellant in this appeal. 03-14458
