02/19/2002Notice/IncomingFiled Notice. -- Robert LePome withdraws as counsel for respondents Norman and Cheryle Kaye. 02-03170
03/22/2002Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Order Staying Appeal and Cross-Appeal. On December 17, 2001, respondents Norman Kaye and Cheryle J. Kaye ("respondents") filed a "Notice of Pendency of Bankruptcy," indicating that they had filed for relief from creditors in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada and that the automatic stay pursuant to 11 USC ยง 362(a) is in effect. It appears that respondents were defendants in the action below. Therefore, this appeal and cross-appeal are stayed. Because this matter remains on this court's active docket, however, counsel for respondents shall file a status report informing this court whether the bankruptcy stay is still in effect within 120 days from the date of this order. If the bankruptcy stay is lifted for any reason during that time period, counsel shall notify this court immediately and attach to the notice any orders entered by the bankruptcy court relating to the stay. On February 19, 2002, counsel of record for respondents Norman Kaye and Cheryle J. Kaye, attorney Robert C. LePome, filed a "Notice of Withdrawal." In that notice, Mr. LePome states that he is withdrawing as attorney of record because Richard Davis, the Chapter 7 trustee that was appointed in respondents' bankruptcy proceedings, "now represents Norman and Cheryle J. Kaye." Mr. LePome will remain counsel of record for respondents. Mr. LePome may file a proper motion to withdraw or substitute attorneys when this appeal is no longer stayed. On January 25, 2002, respondent/cross-appellant Hale B. Bennett and respondent Kay Bennett submitted a joint answering brief on appeal, which also included the opening brief for Hale B. Bennett's cross-appeal, and an appendix to that brief. fn1[While the Bennetts have filed a single combined brief, we note that Kay Bennett is only a respondent to the appeal of J.J. Industries, and is not involved in the cross-appeal brought by Hale B. Bennett. The brief is therefore deemed to be a joint answering brief on appeal, and opening brief for Hale Bennett's cross-appeal.] On February 11, 2002, appellant/cross-respondent submitted a reply brief. On February 22, 2002, respondent/cross-appellant submitted a reply brief on cross-appeal. In the interest of judicial economy, we direct the clerk of this court to file those briefs and the appendix. We deny as moot respondent/cross-appellant Hale B. Bennett's January 8, 2002, motion for an extension of time to file his answering brief on appeal and opening brief on cross-appeal. We note that respondents Norman Kaye and Cheryle J. Kaye's answering brief on appeal was due to be filed and served by December 14, 2001. In light of this order staying appeal and cross-appeal, we vacate that filing date and suspend all briefing pending further order of this court. 02-05149

Attached to that notice is a copy of a 'Stipulation and Order Granting Relief From Automatic Stay.' That stipulation and order specifically lifts the stay as it applied to this appeal and cross-appeal. Accordingly, this appeal and cross-appeal may proceed. The Kayes shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file an answering brief or join in the answering brief filed by the Bennetts. Upon completion of briefing, this court will expedite our resolution of this appeal and cross-appeal as this court's calendar permits. 02-19189

Industries believes Ms. Kay should not be a party to this appeal, it should file a motion to voluntarily withdraw this appeal as to Ms. Kaye only. See NRAP 42(b).
