|
| 09/26/2003 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. To date, court reporter Dina Dee Dalton has not filed the requested transcripts in this court. Appellant has included two of the three requested transcripts in its appendix. The copy of the transcript in the appendix for proceedings held on June 5, 2001, indicates a June 6, 2002, district court filing date. Because this transcript had already been filed in the district court when this appeal was docketed on September 25, 2002, appellant properly included the transcripts in its appendix. The copy of the transcript in the appendix for proceedings held on September 5, 2002, indicates that it was filed in the district court on October 17, 2002, after the docketing of this appeal. Appellant should not have included a copy of the transcript in the appendix, and the court reporter should have filed a certified copy of the transcript with the clerk of this court. In the interest of judicial economy, we waive the requirements of NRAP 9(b), 10(b) and 30(b)(1). Ms. Dalton is no longer obligated to file a certified copy of the transcript for September 5, 2002, with this court. We admonish Ms. Dalton for her failure to file the requested transcript with this court and admonish counsel for appellant for including the transcript in appellant's appendix. As to the third transcript for proceedings held on November 29, 2001, our review of this case reveals that it has not been filed with this court or included in appellant's appendix. Our review of the briefs filed with this court indicates that none of the briefs include any citations to the transcript of November 29, 2001. Accordingly, we conclude that Ms. Dalton is no longer obligated to produce the transcript of November 29, 2001, because it appears that it is not necessary for our review of this appeal. If the parties determine that this court's consideration of that transcript is essential to proper resolution of this appeal, they shall so inform this court, in writing, within 10 days from the date of this order. | | 03-16151
|
| 10/30/2003 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On September 19, 2003, attorney Peter L. Flangas filed a "Notice of Substitution of Attorney," purporting to substitute himself as counsel of record for respondents in the place of attorney Rachel H. Nicholson. We note that the substitution is not signed by or served on Ms. Nicholson or respondents. Because of this deficiency, we elect treat the substitution as a notice of appearance. Accordingly, Mr. Flangas has been added to this court's docket as co-counsel for respondents. If Ms. Nicholson wishes to withdraw as co-counsel of record for respondents, she should file an appropriate motion. | | 03-18114
