03/19/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On November 6, 2002, appellants filed a motion to strike a compact disk that was included in respondents' appendix to the answering brief. On November 18, 2002, respondents filed a combined, "Motion to Clarify Form and content of Record on Appeal [and] Response to Motion to Strike." fn1[On November 22, 2002, appellants filed a response to respondents' motion to clarify the record. That response primarily asserts appellants' argument that the compact disk should be stricken.] We deny the motion to strike the compact disk. Although we decline to strike the compact disk at this time, we caution respondents that in reviewing this appeal this court will disregard all documents or other items improperly included in the appendix. Insofar as this order has clarified the form and content of the appellate court record, we grant respondents' November 18, 2002, motion. On November 14, 2002, respondents filed a "Motion for Leave to File a Sur-Reply." On November 22, appellants filed an opposition. From a cursory review of all the briefs filed in this appeal, it appears that the issues and arguments raised in the reply brief are proper. We deny respondents' November 14, 2002, motion. fn2[We defer ruling on appellants' motion for stay pending appeal at this time.] 03-04638
04/03/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motion. Denying Motion for Stay. Appellants seek a stay of the district court proceedings pending this appeal. Respondents oppose the motion. We have considered the four factors whether to grant a stay and have determined that they weigh against granting a stay. We deny appellants' motion. 03-05591

09/04/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motion. This appeal is scheduled for oral argument before the Southern Nevada Panel on September 8, 2003, at 11:00 a.m., in Las Vegas. On August 18, 2003, appellants filed a "Motion To Continue Oral Argument." Appellants state that argument should be rescheduled to allow this appeal to be consolidated and resolved together with an "anticipated appeal" from a recently entered district court judgment in related proceedings. fn1[We note that on April 3, 2003, this court entered an order denying appellant's motion for a stay of those district court proceedings pending resolution of this appeal.] On August 25, 2003, respondents filed an opposition to the motion. On August 29, 2003, appellants filed a motion for leave to file a reply to the opposition. We grant that motion. The clerk of this court shall file the reply received on August 29, 2003. After consideration of the motion, opposition and reply, and in light of our previous determinations that this appeal should be expedited and that the underlying trial should not be stayed, we deny appellants' motion to continue oral argument of this appeal. 03-14851
