08/29/2001Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Order Denying Motion to Dismiss and Directing Appellant to Retain Counsel. We do not condone the untimely filing of the case appeal statement. fn4[As appellant's case appeal statement has already been filed, his motion for procedural relief, filed on June 11, 2001, is denied as moot.] But as the filing of the case appeal statement is not jurisdictional, we are not persuaded that the untimely filing of the case appeal statement is grounds for dismissal of this appeal. Respondents have not demonstrated that dismissal of this appeal is warranted, and jurisdiction appears proper. The motion to dismiss is denied. Appellant has been proceeding as a Nevada attorney representing himself. fn7[Because appellant was a member of the Nevada bar, his submissions were filed with this court. We note that any future submissions from appellant personally must be treated as proper person submissions.] On June 21, 2001, appellant was disbarred. We direct appellant to obtain new counsel and to cause new counsel to file a notice of appearance with this court within 30 days of the date of this order. New counsel will be expected to participate in the settlement conference program. If appellant fails to obtain new counsel within the stated time, then this case shall be processed as a proper person appeal. 01-14599
11/09/2001Order/ProceduralFiled Order/Transmit Record and Directing Response. On August 29, 2001, we directed appellant to retain new counsel, and to cause counsel to file a notice of appearance with this court. To date, appellant has failed to respond to our order, and so this case shall be processed as a proper person appeal. Original record due: 30 days. fn3[The record shall not include any exhibits filed in the district court.] 01-18733
