04/14/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Denying Reconsideration and Reinstating Briefing. On February 27, 2003, respondent filed a document entitled 'Respondent's Opposition to Appellant's Motion to Extend the Time to File Docketing Statement and Countermotion to Clarify Case Appeal Statement Representation of Facts.' We elect to treat the opposition as a motion for reconsideration of our February 20, 2003, order. We deny the motion for reconsideration of our February 20, 2003, order. In respondent's countermotion, we note that appellant paid the filing fee with the docketing of this appeal is not proceeding in forma pauperis. Thus it appears the alleged misrepresentation is moot. We deny respondent's request. The parties were unable to agree to a settlement. We reinstate the time deadlines for requesting transcripts and filing briefs. Appellant: 15 days to comply with NRAP 9(a). Because this is a child custody matter, appellant shall have 90 days to file and serve opening brief and appendix. Respondent shall have 20 days from service of the opening brief to file and serve the answering brief. Appellant shall have 10 days from service of the answering brief to file and serve the reply brief. 03-06214

08/18/2003MotionFiled Stipulation. 03-13769
09/26/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. To date, court reporter Shelly A. Ajoub has not filed the requested transcript for proceedings held on September 26, 2002, with this court. Instead, it has been included in volume 2 of appellant's appendix. We note that the copy of the transcript in appellant's appendix indicates a June 3, 2003, district court filing date. This appeal was docketed in this court on January 17, 2003. Accordingly, Ms. Ajoub was required to file the original transcript in the district court and a certified copy in this court. Furthermore, the transcript should not have been included in the appendix. However, in the interest of judicial economy, we waive the requirements of NRAP 9(b), 10(b) and 30(b)(1). Ms. Ajoub is no longer obligated to file a certified copy of the transcript with this court. We admonish Ms. Ajoub for her failure to file the requested transcript with this court. 03-16126
03/22/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. The parties have filed a stipulation to extend the time to file the reply brief. The stipulation is treated as a joint motion for an extension of time. Cause appearing, we grant the motion. The clerk of this court shall file the reply brief received on August 18, 2003. Appellant has moved for an order directing 'the lower Court to hear [her] Motion to Modify Visitation.' Appellant further represents that the district court is not inclined to resolve her motion on the merits unless she seeks a stay from this court or complies with the remand procedures set forth in Huneycutt v. Huneycutt, 94 Nev. 79, 575 P.2d 585 (1978). Appellant also requests attorney fees in the amount of $1,000.00. No good cause appearing, we deny appellant's motion to direct 'the lower Court to hear [her] Motion to Modify Visitation' and request for attorney fees. We note, however, that pursuant to NRAP 8, a request for a stay pending appeal ordinarily must first be requested in the district court. We further note that pursuant to the remand procedures set forth in Huneycutt v. Huneycutt, 94 Nev. 79, 575 P.2d 585 (1978), the parties must provide this court with an order of the district court certifying its inclination to grant the parties' requested relief. Finally, we note that, generally, 'a timely notice of appeal divests the district court of jurisdiction to act and vests jurisdiction in this court.' However, this court has allowed district courts to grant relief while the case was on appeal where the issue is 'entirely collateral to and independent from that part of the case taken up by appeal, and in no way affected the merits of the appeal.' 04-05369
