09/17/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Respondent and real party in interest Bennett Elliott ('respondent') has moved this court to direct the district court clerk to transmit 'certain trial exhibits which are referred to in [respondent's] Petition for En Banc Reconsideration' so that these trial exhibits can 'be part of the appellate court record.' Respondent has also moved for leave to file a petition for en banc reconsideration in excess of 10 pages. Respondents' motions are accompanied by the proposed petition for en banc reconsideration. Appellant in Docket No. 37397 opposes the motions. The appendix filed with respondent's answering brief in the instant matter did not include the 8 trial exhibits which respondent now seeks to have transmitted to this court. Consequently, these exhibits were not considered by the panel prior to entry of the decision in these cases. Accordingly, we deny the motion. Further, as the trial exhibits are appended to and discussed in the petition for en banc reconsideration, we direct the clerk of this court to return the petition, unfiled. Respondent shall have 10 days from the date of this order to file an amended petition for en banc reconsideration. In filing the amended petition, counsel shall strictly comply with NRAP 40A. The remittitur shall issue 25 days from the date of this order. fn1[Respondent's motion for leave to file a petition in excess of 10 pages is denied as moot. Appellant's request to strike portions of the petition is denied as moot.] Nos. 37397/40134. (03-15538)

03/26/2004Order/DispositionalFiled Order Granting Petition. Granting in Part and Denying in Part Petition for En Banc Reconsideration. Having considered respondent Bennett Elliott's petition for en banc reconsideration and appellant Anderson Dairy, Inc.'s answer to the petition, we conclude that reconsideration should be granted solely as to the issue of punitive damages on retrial. 'We grant reconsideration in part and determine that Elliott is not prohibited from pursuing his punitive damages claim upon remand. We deny the petition for reconsideration on all other grounds.' fn3[This matter was submitted for decision by a seven justice court. The Honorable Myron E. Leavitt, Justice, having died in office on January 9, 2004, this matter was decided by a five-justice court. The Honorable Mark Gibbons, Justice, did not participate in the decision of this matter.] Nos. 37397/40134. 04-05756
