| 04/06/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. Transcripts for proceedings conducted on March 20, 1998, have not yet been filed with this court. Court Reporter Prawalsky shall have 20 days from the date of this order to prepare and file the transcript. We note that the transcript request form filed on September 14, 2000, included requests for transcripts of proceedings conducted on 8/28/98; 9/10/98; 9/11/98; 9/28/99; 12/17/98; 2/2/99; 5/22/00; and 6/8/00. All of these proceedings were conducted after the docketing of this appeal and were therefore improperly requested. Accordingly, this court will not require court reporter Prawalsky to file transcripts for the proceedings conducted on those dates. We further note, however, that court reporter Prawalsky has filed certified copies for some of these proceedings. fn1[Certified transcripts for the improperly requested dates of 9/10/98; 12/17/98; 2/2/99; 9/28/99; 5/22/00; and 6/8/00, were filed with this court on September 27, 2000.] Counsel shall not cite to or rely on these transcripts in the briefs. Cause appearing, we grant Appellant's January 10, 2001, motion for extension of time to file the opening brief. Appellant shall have 50 days from the date of this order to file and serve the opening brief and appendix.clerk5 | | 01-05926

|
| 05/01/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On April 25, 2001, court reporter Prawalsky filed a letter in response to our April 6, 2001, order. In that letter court reporter Prawalsky states that 'there was no calendar for Department V on March 20, 1998.' Accordingly, we vacate that portion of our April 6, 2001, order directing court reporter Prawalsky to prepare and file transcripts for proceedings conducted on March 20, 1998 and we conclude that court reporter Prawalsky has filed all transcripts requested of her. To date, court reporters Mell, LaRue, Garcia, and Buttell have failed to file the transcripts requested of them. Accordingly, court reporters Mell, LaRue, Garcia, and Buttell shall have 20 days from the date of this order to prepare and file the transcripts requested of them. If more time is needed to complete the preparation of the transcripts, the court reporters shall, within the same time period, file a motion with this court requesting an extension of time and stating the reason for the extension, or if the requested transcripts cannot be produced, the court reporters shall notify this court, in writing, of this fact. | | 01-07235

|
| 07/18/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On July 5, 2001, appellant filed a 'Motion Requesting Permission to Include Transcripts in Record Appendix. Good cause appearing and in the interests of judicial economy, we grant appellant's motion. Appellant shall include copies of the transcripts prepared by court reporters Tyrone LaRue and Karen Mell in the appendix. We vacate our May 1, 2001, order directing Mr. LaRue and Ms. Mell to prepare and file the transcripts requested of them. We remind Mr. LaRue and Ms. Mell that in the future, pursuant to NRAP 9(b), they should file the original transcripts with the district court and directly transmit certified copies of those transcripts to this court. Also on July 5, 2001, appellant filed a notice regarding missing documents. Because it appears that these transcripts cannot be produced, we vacate our May 1, 2001, order directing court reporters Russell Garcia and Kris Buttell to prepare and file the transcripts requested of them. We admonish Mr. Garcia and Ms. Buttell for failing to respond to our May 1, 2001, order and for their failure to notify this court of the unavailability of the requested transcripts. On July 12, 2001, appellant submitted a proper person motion requesting this court to take judicial notice of several documents. Appellant has neither requested nor been granted leave to file documents in proper person and appellant is represented by counsel. The clerk of this court shall return, unfiled, appellant's proper person motion received on July 12, 2001. Appellant shall address all concerns related to this appeal to his counsel of record. | | 01-12193

|
| 12/18/2001 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. On October 10, 2001, appellant filed a motion to strike the answering brief and appendix. Respondent opposes the motion. Our review of the answering brief and appendix indicates that these documents do not comply with the Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure. Specifically, the answering brief cited to documents that were not filed in the district court. However, we deny appellant's motion to the extent that it requests the striking of the answering brief and appendix in their entirety. We remind counsel for respondent that in resolving appeals, we disregard improper references to documents that are not part of the trial record as well as documents in appendices that do not bear a district court file stamp. To date, appellant has failed to file the reply brief. Appellant shall have 10 days from the date of this order to file and serve a reply brief, if deemed necessary. Failure to timely comply with this order may be treated as a waiver of the right to file a reply brief. | | 01-21326
