02/07/2001Other Other. Received copy of letter from Law Librarian Susan Southwick addressed to law firm of Ashby & Emerson. She received a check in the amount of $250 which they submitted in payment of sanctions recommended by the settlement judge. However, this court has not actually imposed the sanctions, therefore she is returning the check to them.
11/28/2001Order/ProceduralFiled Order. The settlement judge filed a report determining that attorney Phillip R. Emerson, counsel for appellant, failed to participate in good faith in the settlement conference process and recommended the imposition of monetary sanctions against Mr. Emerson in the amount of $500. We conclude that Mr. Emerson's mistake in communicating the settlement offer does not rise to the level of bad faith participation warranting sanctions under NRAP 16(g). Accordingly, we decline to impose sanctions against Mr. Emerson. Respondent has filed a motion for remand or, in the alternative, to stay this appeal pending a determination by the district court regarding the validity of the parties' settlement agreement. Appellant opposes the motion. It seems appropriate to allow the parties to seek a determination regarding the validity of the agreement, prior to continuing with this appeal. We defer ruling on respondent's motion for remand. Respondent shall have 60 days from the date of this order to file in this court a copy of an order of the district court certifying that it is inclined to grant a motion to enforce the settlement agreement. If respondent is unable to obtain Huneycutt certification, he shall so inform this court in writing within the same time period. 01-19890

02/24/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order/Briefing Reinstated. On August 28, 2002, appellant filed a status report informing this court that the district court granted his motion for reconsideration and denied Huneycutt certification. We deny respondent's motion for remand, and we reinstate the time deadlines for requesting transcripts and filing briefs in this appeal. Appellant: 15 days to comply with NRAP 9(a); 120 days to file and serve opening brief and appendix. Briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1). On September 3, 2002, respondent filed a motion requesting that this court review the district court's order granting reconsideration and denying Huneycutt certification. The grant or denial of a motion for Huneycutt certification is entirely within the district court's discretion and such an order is not an appeal order. We deny respondent's motion. 03-03043

07/25/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On March 17, 2003, appellant filed a motion for an extension of 45-60 days to comply with NRAP 9(a). On June 20, 2003, appellant complied with NRAP 9(a) by filing a certificate indicating that no transcripts are being requested. We note that appellant did not comply with NRAP 9(a) by the extended date requested in his March 17, 2003, motion. Accordingly, we deny the motion as moot. On June 18, 2003, respondent filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for failure to comply with NRAP 9(a). Appellant opposes the motion. We note that this court prefers to decide cases on their merits, as indicated above, appellant has complied with NRAP 9(a). Accordingly, we deny respondent's motion to dismiss this appeal for failure to comply with NRAP 9(a). On June 20, 2003, appellant filed a motion for an extension of 60-90 days to file the opening brief and appendix. Respondent opposes the motion. As noted above, because this court prefers to decide cases on their merits, we deny the request to dismiss this appeal. We conclude that appellant did not present good cause for the extension of time to file the opening brief and appendix, and we thus grant the motion in part. NRAP 31(a)(1). Appellant shall file the opening brief and appendix within 15 days from the date of this order. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1). 03-12625
