05/07/2001Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On January 16, 2001, appellant submitted an untimely docketing statement. The docketing statement was not accompanied by a motion to file a late document. In the interests of judicial efficiency, we direct the clerk of this court to file the docketing statement received on January 16, 2001. To date appellant has not filed the opening brief and appendix. We conclude that attorney Wolfbrandt's failure to comply with this court's orders entered on June 19, 2000, October 18, 2000, and December 19, 2000, warrants the imposition of sanctions. Attorney William L. Wolfbrandt shall, within 15 days of the date of this order, personally pay the sum of $500 to the Supreme Court Law Library and provide the clerk of this court with proof of payment. Within the same time period, attorney Wolfbrandt shall file and serve the opening brief and appendix. Failure to comply timely with this order may result in the imposition of additional sanctions, including, but not limited to, referral to the State Bar of Nevada for investigation.
