08/06/2001Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Appellant was represented in the district court by Peter S. Christiansen, and Mr. Christiansen therefore remains counsel of record for appellant in this appeal until the filing of the fast track statement. On July 30, 2001, attorney Joseph Sciscento filed a motion to hold this appeal in abeyance pending the district court's ruling on appellant's post-conviction motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Mr. Sciscento has been appointed to represent appellant in the district court regarding appellant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. If the district court denies appellant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea, Mr. Sciscento may file a timely notice of appeal from that order, and that appeal will be docketed separately from this appeal. There has been no good cause shown for holding this appeal in abeyance, and the motion is denied. 01-13212
08/08/2001Order/CounselFiled Order/Sanctions. We conclude that the imposition of a monetary sanction is appropriate. Accordingly, Mr. Christiansen shall personally pay the sum of $500.00 to the Supreme Court Law Library and provide the clerk of this court with an affidavit or certificate verifying that payment has been made to the Supreme Court Law Library within 20 days of the date of this order. Further, Mr. Christiansen shall file and serve the fast track statement within 10 days of this order or show cause why Mr. Christiansen should not be sanctioned further. 01-13417

10/01/2001Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motion. On August 8, 2001, this court entered an order imposing sanctions on appellant's counsel Peter S. Christiansen, and ordering him to file the fast track statement in this appeal, as previously ordered. On August 17, 2001, Mr. Christiansen filed a motion to reconsider the order. We conclude that Mr. Christiansen has failed to demonstrate that the order should be reconsidered. The motion is therefore denied. Mr. Christiansen shall have 20 days from the date of this order to file and serve the fast track statement and appendix in this appeal. 01-16496
10/12/2001MotionFiled Motion to Dismiss Appeal. 01-17242

11/14/2001Order/DispositionalFiled Voluntary Dismissal. On October 12, 2001, counsel for appellant filed a motion to withdraw this appeal voluntarily. The motion is granted and we "ORDER this appeal DISMISSED." fn1[On October 15, 2001, counsel for appellant filed a response to this court's order of October 1, 2001. In the response, counsel again asks this court to reconsider the sanctions previously imposed. This court has already denied a motion to reconsider those sanctions, and we once again conclude that appellant has failed to demonstrate that the sanction order should be reconsidered. The motion is again denied.] SNP02-CY/DA/ML 01-18963
