08/08/2000 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On February 18, 2000, the settlement judge filed an interim settlement conference report indicating that the settlement conference process has been thwarted by appellant's minimal participation. Appellant filed a response on May 4, 2000. Appellant offers no reason for his failure to inform the settlement judge that his attorney was not available to attend the February 14, 2000 conference and that, therefore, appellant would not be attending the conference. Appellant does not dispute that he failed to submit a settlement statement. Based on the foregoing, we conclude that the imposition of sanctions is appropriate. We decline to dismiss this appeal at this time. We direct appellant Dwight Duncan to personally pay $500 to the Nevada Supreme Court Law Library and to file proof of payment of the sanction with this court within 20 days from the date of this order. Failure to comply with this order in a timely manner may result in the imposition of additional sanctions. This appeal shall proceed as no settlement has been reached. Appellant shall, within 15 days from the date of this order, file the docketing statement. Upon the filing of the docketing statement, this court shall conduct a preliminary jurisdictional review of this appeal. Appellant shall have 15 days from the date of this order to file a transcript request form or certificate of no transcript and 120 days to file and serve the opening brief and appendix. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1). (Docketing statement mailed to attorney Glennen, counsel for appellant.) | | 00-13709 |
