| 10/01/1999 | Order/Procedural | Filed Case Processing Order. Order of Limited Remand for Appointment of Counsel. We are dissatisfied with attorney Hatcher's handling of this matter. We remove attorney Hatcher as counsel of record for Appellant in these consolidated matters and remand these matters to the district court for the limited purpose of appointing new counsel to represent Appellant within 20 days from the date of this order. The clerk of the district court shall, within 30 days from the date of this order, serve upon newly appointed counsel a copy of this order and inform the clerk of this court of the appointment. Appointed counsel shall file a notice of appearance with this court within 10 days of appointment and within 90 days from appearance with this court, serve and file a single consolidated Opening Brief and Appendix.

Hatcher shall, within 10 days from the date of this order, personally pay the sum of $250 to the Clark County Law Library and separately provide the clerk of this court with proof of payment of the sanction. Failure to comply with this order in a timely manner will likely result in the imposition of additional sanctions, including , but not limited to, referral of this matter to the State Bar of Nevada for investigation and possible disciplinary action. Although Appellant has not been granted leave to file briefs or papers, we have received and considered Appellant's submissions. In light of this order, we deny as moot Appellant's requests for relief. (Order mailed to attorney Hatcher by regular and certified mail.) Nos 30762, 30779 | | |
