Appellant/cross-respondent ('appellant') and respondent/cross-appellant ('respondent') shall each have 15 days from the date of this order to comply with NRAP 9(a).

01/15/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order/Briefing Schedule. Amending Briefing Schedule. On December 23, 2003, this court entered an order reinstating briefing after the settlement judge had filed a report indicating that the parties were unable to agree to a settlement of this matter. In that order, we set forth an expedited briefing schedule pursuant to NRAP 31(a)(2) because it appeared that this appeal and cross-appeal involved child custody issues. Upon review of the parties' docketing statements, it appears that child custody issues are not involved in either the appeal or cross-appeal. Accordingly, we amend the briefing schedule. Appellant shall file and serve the opening brief and appendix by April 21, 2004. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1). As of the date of this order neither party has filed a transcript request form or a certificate indicating that no transcripts will be requested. Accordingly, both parties shall comply with NRAP 9 within 10 days from the date of this order. 04-00868

05/13/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Redesignating the Parties. On December 23, 2003, this court entered an order establishing the briefing schedule for the appeal and cross-appeal. Because Jannell had been designated the appellant/cross-respondent, the briefing schedule provided that Jannell file the opening brief and appendix. Jannell has now moved to amend the briefing schedule established in our December 23, 2003, order. Because it appears more logical for Gary to first brief this court, we grant the unopposed motion and redesignate the parties. The clerk of this court shall modify the caption to indicate that Gary is now the appellant/ cross-respondent and Jannell is the respondent/ cross-appellant. Gary shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file and serve the opening brief and appendix on appeal. Jannell shall have 30 days from service of the opening brief and appendix to file and serve the combined answering brief on appeal and opening brief and appendix on cross-appeal. Gary shall have 30 days from service of Jannell's combined brief to file and serve the combined reply brief on appeal and answering brief on cross-appeal. Jannell shall have 30 days from service of Gary's combined brief to file and serve the reply brief on cross-appeal, if deemed necessary. The December 23, 2003, order also directed Gary to request transcripts in compliance with NRAP 9(a). To date Gary has failed to comply with NRAP 9(a). Gary shall have 10 days from the date of this order to file either a transcript request form or a certificate indicating that no transcripts are requested. Shelly A. Ajoub of Transcript Video Services has moved for an extension of time to file the June 13, 2003, transcript. We note that the June 13, 2003, transcript was filed in this court on May 3, 2004. Accordingly, we deny the motion as moot. 04-08887

09/22/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. to File Opening Brief and Appendix. On May 27, 2004, appellant/cross-respondent ('appellant') filed a transcript request form requesting the production of the June 13, 2003, transcript only. fn1[The June 13, 2003, transcript was filed in this court on May 3, 2004.] On June 17, 2004, appellant moved for an extension of time to request the December 11, 2002, transcript. We elect to treat the motion for an extension of time as a motion for leave to file an amended transcript request form to include the December 11, 2002, transcript. Because the December 11, 2002, transcript has been filed in this court, fn2[The transcript was filed with this court on June 30, 2004.] in the interest of judicial efficiency, we waive the requirement that appellant file an amended transcript request form that requests both the June 13, 2003, and December 11, 2002, transcripts. Accordingly, we deny appellant's motion for leave to file an amended transcript request form. The parties have filed a stipulation to extend the time for appellant to file and serve the opening brief and appendix. We elect to treat the stipulation as a joint motion for a 60-day extension of time. Because appellant did not submit for filing the opening brief and appendix by the time requested in the joint motion, we deny the motion. Appellant shall have 10 days from the date of this order to file and serve the opening brief and appendix. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1). 04-17539

10/14/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Denying Stay. Appellant/cross-respondent has moved this court for a stay pending appeal of the portion of the decree that pertains to the spousal support award. In deciding whether to issue a stay, we generally consider four factors. Having evaluated these factors and appellant/cross-respondent's arguments, we conclude that none of the factors militates strongly in favor of a stay. We therefore deny the motion. 04-19094
12/03/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. to file Answering Brief. Respondent/cross-appellant shall, within 10 days from the date of this order, file and serve the combined answering brief on appeal and opening brief on cross-appeal. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed pursuant to the schedule set forth in our order entered May 13, 2004. 04-22130
12/15/2004MotionFiled Motion. Motion for Extension of Time to File Answering Brief and/or Other Relief. 04-22899
02/08/2005Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On December 15, 2004, respondent filed a motion for an extension of time to file the brief. In the motion, respondent informs this court that she filed 'a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on July 21st, 2004.' Consequently, respondent requests an extension of time until resolution of her bankruptcy proceedings. An appeal is subject to the automatic bankruptcy stay if the debtor was the defendant in the underlying trial court action. Respondent was the defendant below. Accordingly, we grant respondent's motion to stay this appeal and we order this appeal stayed pursuant to the mandatory provisions of federal bankruptcy law. See 11 U.S.C. ยง 362(a). Respondent shall have 90 days from the date of this order to file a report informing this court of the status of the bankruptcy proceedings. 05-02502

We deny Mr. Johns' motion to withdraw as counsel for respondent/cross-appellant. This denial is without prejudice to Mr. Johns' right to renew the motion after the automatic bankruptcy stay has been lifted from this appeal. Bankruptcy status report due: 90 days. 06-00624
