On July 12, 2002, this court entered an order that directed court recorders Catherine Nelson and Kristine Cornelius to prepare and file the transcripts for proceedings conducted on December 30, 1996, and September 13, 2001, respectively. On July 31, 2002, Ms. Nelson submitted a letter in response to our July 12, 2002, order and on August 2, 2002, Ms. Cornelius also submitted a response to our July 12, 2002, order.

| 04/18/2003 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order/Show Cause. Because the appellant obtained a written order from the district court dismissing the claims against Brandsness, we note appellant has not yet perfected an appeal to this court and must file an amended notice of appeal within the time frame set forth in NRAP 4(a)(1). fn4[See NRAP 4(a)(4) (providing that no fee is required if an amended notice of appeal is filed to remedy a jurisdictional defect).] Response due from appellant: 30 days.

| 05/08/2003 | Order/Dispositional | Filed Order Dismissing Appeal. Order Dismissing Appeals in Docket Nos. 38456 and 38606, and Allowing Appeal to Proceed in Docket No. 38918. On March 22, 2002, this court consolidated the appeals. As the appeals were docketed separately in this court, we conclude that the first two appeals should be dismissed, and the third appeal may proceed, since appellant has obtained what appears to be a final judgment and has filed a timely amended notice of appeal. "We dismiss the appeals in Docket No. 38456, and Docket No. 38606, and allow the appeal from the final judgment to proceed under Docket No. 38918." fn6[The transcripts filed in these appeals on May 23, 2002, and March 31, 2003, shall be retained pending resolution of the appeal in Docket No. 38918.] We note that this court can review the interlocutory orders granting summary judgment and denying appellant's motion to retax costs on appeal from the final judgment. Appellant shall have 60 days from the date of this order to file an opening brief and appendix. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1).
