| 08/29/2000 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On March 10, 2000, appellant Susan Knight submitted to this court a document entitled 'Joinder to Opposition to Motion to Dismiss Appeal.' Because this document was not timely submitted it was not filed. In the interest of judicial efficiency, the clerk of this court shall forthwith file the document submitted to this court on March 10, 2000. fn1[We denied respondent's motion to dismiss this appeal in our order of March 17, 2000.] On April 4, 2000, appellant Ronald Knight filed a case appeal statement with this court. We waive, for this appeal only, the requirement that the case appeal statement be filed in the district court. On April 4, 2000, Paul M. Gaudet, counsel for appellant Ronald Knight, filed a 'Response of Counsel to Order to Show Cause Why Sanctions Should Not be Imposed; Motion to Withdraw As Attorney of Record.' We conclude that sanctions are not warranted against attorney Gaudet. Because attorney Gaudet was appointed by the district court to represent appellant Ronald Knight in this appeal, we deny attorney Gaudet's motion to withdraw. On April 4, 2000, Jeffrey A. Cogan, counsel for appellant Susan Knight, also filed a response to this court's March 17, 2000, show cause order. We conclude that sanctions are not warranted against attorney Cogan. On April 4, 2000, appellant Susan Knight filed a transcript request form requesting the preparation of transcripts for proceedings held on October 9, 1998. Unless appellant Susan Knight informs this court otherwise in a writing submitted within 10 days from the date of this order, this court will assume that the transcripts requested by appellant Susan Knight are unnecessary for this court's review of this appeal. | | 00-15191

However, on August 24, 2000, court reporter Deborah Casper filed a notice stating that appellant had failed to pay the deposit for the requested transcripts. Accordingly, appellant Susan Knight shall pay the required deposit within 10 days of the date of this order and file proof of such payment with the clerk of this court. Upon payment of the deposit, Casper shall prepare and file the requested transcripts within 30 days. Should appellant no longer wish to have these transcripts prepared, she shall inform this court and court reporter Casper within 10 days of the date of this order. To date , appellant Susan Knight has failed to file a reply brief. We treat this as an election not to file a reply brief. Accordingly, briefing is completed in this appeal as to Susan Knight., To date, appellant Ronald Knight has not filed the opening brief.

Failure to comply may result in the immediate dismissal of his appeal as abandoned. | | 00-17625
