The clerk of the district court shall immediately advise the clerk of this court of the date of appointment and individual attorney appointed. If new counsel is appointed, the clerk of the district court shall also serve a copy of this order on the attorney appointed to represent Appellant and provide proof of such service to the clerk of this court.

State, Docket No. 23418, we remand this matter to the district court with instructions that the firm of Moran & Weinstock be removed as counsel of record for Appellant. We further instruct the district court that neither the firm of Moran & Weinstock, no attorney Dennis M. Leavitt shall be compensated in any manner for their handling of this matter. The district court shall appoint new counsel to represent Appellant within 15 days from the date of this order. The clerk of the district court shall immediately inform the clerk of this court of the appointment, and new counsel shall promptly enter an appearance with this court. New counsel shall have 60 days from the date of this order within which to file an Opening Brief on Appellant's behalf. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in strict accordance with NRAP 31(a). Because Leavitt has materially violated our procedural rules in the case, we hereby sanction him personally. Dennis Leavitt shall pay to the Clark County Law Library the sum of $1,000.00, and shall provide the clerk of this court with proof of such payment within 15 days from the date of this order. In addition, Leavitt shall serve a copy of this order on Appellant Jerome Arthur Young, and shall provide the clerk of this court with proof of such service within 15 days from the date of this order. Leavitt's failure to comply with these directives in a timely manner will result in the imposition of further sanctions, and possibly a citation for contempt of this court. Finally, we hereby refer this matter to the State Bar of Nevada for further investigation concerning possible violations of the Supreme Court Rules governing professional conduct. | | |

| 01/19/2000 | Motion | Filed Motion to Extend Time. (Fifth request.) | | |
| 04/25/2000 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. As of the date of this order, court reporter Donna Little has not contacted the clerk of this court in any manner, nor has any extension of time for filing the transcripts been requested. Cause appearing, we direct court reporter Little to serve and file the requested transcripts, or to inform the court if there is some reason that the transcripts cannot be produced, within 20 days of the date of this order. We defer ruling on the motion for extension of time to file the opening brief and appendix pending our resolution of the preparation of the transcripts. | | |
| 08/25/2000 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order Extending Time. It appears that Donna Little is no longer a Nevada certified court reporter and is no longer a resident of the State of Nevada. Therefore, it may not be possible for appellant to secure preparation of the transcripts requested. If transcripts are not available, appellant shall proceed with this appeal according to the provisions of NRAP 9(d). Cause appearing, we grant appellant's January 19, 2000, motion for an extension of time to file and serve the opening brief and appendix within 60 days from the date of this order. Further, we note that this court's instruction to appellant to proceed according to the provisions of NRAP 9(d) does not effect this court's ability to impose appropriate sanctions against court reporter Little. Such sanctions may include requiring court reporter Litlle to show cause why she should not be punished for contempt of court, or why damages should not be awarded to either or both parties, and to the State of Nevada due to loss of court time. | | 00-14952
