11/12/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Regarding Transcripts and Directing Transmission of Exhibit. To date, court reporter Mary Beth Cook has not filed the requested transcript with this court. We note, however, that appellant included a certified copy of the transcript in volume 15 of the appendix to the opening brief. Because the transcript was not filed in the district court prior to the docketing of this appeal, inclusion of this transcript in the appendix was improper. However, because the appendix contains a certified copy of the requested transcript, we waive the requirement under NRAP 9(b) of having the court reporter file a certified copy of the transcript with this court. Accordingly, Ms. Cook need not file a certified copy of the transcript for proceedings conducted on January 27, 2003, with this court. On September 25, 2003, respondent filed a motion requesting the transmission of an original exhibit pursuant to NRAP 30(d). We grant the unopposed motion. The district court clerk shall have 30 days from the date of this order to certify and transmit 'State's Exhibit #50' filed in District Court Case No. C135497. 03-18815

03/16/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On March 4, 2004, appellant submitted a proper person supplemental brief. We note, however, that appellant is represented by counsel in this appeal. Accordingly, we decline to grant appellant leave to file papers in proper person. See NRAP 46(b). The clerk of this court shall return, unfiled, appellant's supplemental brief received on March 4, 2004. Appellant shall proceed hereafter by and through his counsel of record and shall address all concerns relating to this appeal to counsel. Upon review of the reply brief filed on January 13, 2004, it appears that appellant cited to matters in the record that have not been included within the 15 volumes of the appendix to the opening brief already filed with this court. Appellant shall have 15 days from the date of this order to file and serve a supplemental appendix that includes the additional matters in the record that were cited in appellant's reply brief but were not included in the previously filed appendix. We caution appellant that in resolving this appeal, this court will disregard any assertion in the briefs that is not properly supported by a citation to the record. 04-04918
