| 08/09/1999 | Petition/Writ | Filed Answer to Petition for Writ. Respondent's Reply to Joint Petition for Writ of Mandamus, or, Alternatively, Writ of Certiorari filed by Petitioners American States Insurance Company, John J. Carniato, Esq. And Gregory Dahl, Esq. | 99-07333 | |
| 08/19/1999 | Motion | Filed Response to Order to Show Cause. Filed Response to Judicial Request for Supplemental Points and Authorites in Support of Joint Petition for Writ of Mandamus, or, Alternatively, Writ of Certiorari filed June 30, 1999. | 99-07722 | |
| 09/21/2000 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. Order Re: Motions. Docket Nos. 33780 and 33968 were consolidated on May 4, 1999. We hereby consolidate Docket No. 34436 with these cases as well. On April 19, 1999, petitioners in Docket No. 33780 filed a motion to file supplemental authorities concerning contempt. On June 7, 1999, real parties in interest filed a motion for leave to file responsive authorities. These motions are granted. We direct the clerk of this court to file the supplemental authorities received from petitioner on April 13, 1999, and the responsive authorities received from real parties in interest on June 1, 1999. On June 11, 1999, petitioners in Docket Nos. 33780 and 33968 filed a motion for stay and to consolidate the appeal in Docket No. 34352 with these petitions. Real parties in interest filed a response on June 21, 1999. It appears that this motion should properly have been filed in Docket No. 34352. However, the appeal was dismissed on August 18, 200. The motion is denied as moot. Petitioners' motion for permission to file a responsive letter, filed on July 14, 1999, to which real parties in interest responded on July 21, 1999, concerns the appeal in Docket No. 34351, and is denied as moot. On July 20, 1999, this court ordered petitioners in Docket No. 34436 to demonstrate that a writ petition was the appropriate vehicle for challenging the district court's order. Petitioners in docket No. 34436 filed a response on August 19, 1999. Joinders in the response were filed by petitioners in Docket Nos. 33780 and 33968 on that same day. We conclude that a writ petition is the appropriate procedure by which to seek relief. On June 11, 1999, petitioners in Docket Nos. 33780 and 33968 filed a motion entitled 'Motion to Vacate Order Entered in Violation of Supreme Court Stay.' Real parties in interest opposed the motion on June 21, 1999. We conclude that to the extent petitioners' motion challenges the merits of the district court's order, such arguments are best considered in the context of the writ petition itself, not in the context of a motion pursuant to NRAP 27. Accordingly, we will not address them here. The motion to vacate the district court's written order on the basis that it violated this court's stay orders is denied. fn1[It appears that the real parties in interest acknowledge that this court's stay orders of March 10, 1999, and May 4, 1999, apply to stay enforcement of the district court's May 10, 1999, written order. To clarify this issue, we hereby order that enforcement of the May 10, 1999, order is stayed pending further order of this court. Nos. 33780, 33968, 34436. Document No. 00-16705. | ||
