| 04/27/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On February 12, 2001, appellant filed an amended transcript request form in these consolidated appeals requesting the preparation of transcripts by court reporter Karen Snyder. Appellant specifically requests the production of transcripts for proceedings conducted on February 14, 2000; February 25, 2000; March 14, 2000; March 16, 2000; March 21, 2000; March 24, 2000; and June 12, 2000.

Amended docketing statement due: 30 days. We caution appellant's counsel that we will not extend the deadline for respondening to this show cause order absent extreme and unforeseeable circumstances.

| 12/07/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. Order Denying Motion to Dismiss, Granting Extensions and Imposing Sanctions. These are consolidated appeals. We ordered appellant to show cause why the appeals should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In response, appellant has submitted documents showing that all parties were formally dismissed, and all claims not on appeal were formally resolved before the judgment's entry. We conclude that we have jurisdiction. Before appellant finally submitted his opening brief and an incomplete appendix, he moved several time to extend the filing deadline. Respondent opposed the fifth request for extra time, and moved to dismiss the appeals for failure to prosecute. Because we prefer to dispose of cases on their merits, we deny the motion to dismiss, and we grant both parties' motions to extend the filing deadlines. We direct the clerk to file the opening brief and appendix received on September 10, 2001. Respondent shall have 45 days from the date of this order to file and serve an answering brief. Appellant shall then have 30 days to file and serve any reply brief. Wee will not extend the reply brief deadline absent a clear showing of extreme and unforeseeable circumstances. Because appellant's counsel's cavalier attitude toward appellant's duty, we ordered counsel to show cause why we should not impose sanctions. Counsel has not respondent. We conclude that sanctions are warranted to discourage similar disregard for our rules and orders in the future. Within 30 days from this order's date, the law firm of Beckley, Singleton, Chtd. shall pay $1,000 to the Nevada Supreme Court Law Library and provide proof of payment to this court's clerk.

|
| 04/03/2002 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order Denying Motion. On March 27, 2002, appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file and serve the reply brief. Respondent opposes the motion and requests this court to dismiss these appeals and impose santions against appellant. On April 1, 2002, appellant filed a motion to file a reply to respondent's motion. We grant appellant's motion to file a reply. The clerk of this court shall file the reply received on April 1, 2002. Having reviewed the motion, opposition and reply, we conclude that the need for additional time to respond to a 54-page answering brief does not constitute an extreme and unforeseeable circumstance. Accordingly, we deny the motion. No reply brief shall be filed in these consolidated appeals. Further, in the event these consolidated appeals are scheduled for oral argument, appellant will not be permitted to present a concluding or rebuttal argument unless such argument is requested by a justice. We admonish appellant's counsel for failing to comply with orders of this court and caution appellant's counsel that future failure to disregard orders of this court may result in the imposition of sanctions. In light of this order we deny respondent's request for dismissal of this appeal and for the imposition of sanctions. Nos. 36303/36384 (02-05908). | | |

| 04/24/2003 | Order/Dispositional | Filed Dispositional Order/Appeal. Order Granting En Banc Reconsideration and Affirming the Panel Decision. On February 21, 2003, this court issued an order denying respondent R. Paul Sorensen's petition for en banc reconsideration. Upon further reflection, however, the court determined to resubmit this matter to the en banc court for reconsideration. Having carefully reconsidered the panel's order vacating judgment and remanding, entered October 15, 2002, and the panel's order denying rehearing, entered December 4, 2002, we conclude that the decision of the panel should remain unchanged. Accordingly, we affirm the panel's decision in its entirety. Becker, J. And Maupin, J., dissenting. fn1[We deny, as moot, respondent Sorenson's motion to compel this court to grant his petition for en banc reconsideration pursuant to NRAP 40A(f) or, alternatively, to publish the panel decision as an opinion. Further, we deny, as moot, the NTLA's motion for leave to file an amicus brief in support of respondent's position.
