09/18/2000Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On June 23, 2000, appellant filed a 'request for transcript of proceedings.' In the supplemental transcript request appellant requested that court reporters 'Mary Beth Cook/Joy Hinck' prepare and file a transcript of the proceedings held on September 8, 1998.fn1[Although the supplemental transcript form actually requests transcripts for proceedings on 'September 8, 1999,' it appears that appellant meant to request a transcript held on September 8, 1998. If this is not correct, appellant shall notify this court in writing within 10 days of this order.] Attached to the supplemental transcript request form was a November 12, 1999, order of the district court allowing appellant to proceed in forma pauperis in this appeal. Court reporters Cook and Hinck shall, within 20 days of the date of this order, file and serve the requested transcript or notify this court in writing if there is some reason the requested transcript cannot be filed. Respondent shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file and serve the answering brief. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed according to the provisions of NRAP 31(a)(1).On August 16, 2000, respondent filed a motion for an extension of time to file the answering brief and to supplement the record with the transcript requested in appellant's supplemental transcript request form. On August 21, 2000, appellant filed a response to respondent's motion. Thereafter, on September 15, 2000, the parties filed a stipulation to extend the time to file the answering brief. In light of our directions concerning the briefing schedule in this appeal and the supplemental transcript request form in this order, we deny respondent's motion and disapprove the parties' stipulation as moot. 00-16371
