04/12/2001Order/ProceduralFiled Order. It appears that all necessary and proper transcripts were filed by court recorder Robert Mintun on March 30, 2001. In the interest of judicial economy, we vacate that portion of our March 28, 2001, order requiring attorney Cristalli to comply with NRAP 9(a). Any future derelictions may rresult in the imposition of sanctions. We grant appellant's motion for a six-day extension of time. Appellant shall file and serve the opening brief and appendix by June 1, 2001. No further extensions of time shall be permitted in the absence of extreme and unforeseeable circumstances. We caution attorney Cristalli that failure to fully comply with this order in a timely manner may result in the imposition of sanctions. 01-06342

Failure to fully comply with this order in a timely manner may result in the imposition of additional sanctions including referral to the State Bar of Nevada. 01-10106
