| 06/07/2002 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order/Answer Writ Petition. Order Construing Appeal as Petition for Extraordinary Relief and Directing Answer. After the Division of Child and Family Services filed its opening brief and appendix, it appeared that this court lacked jurisdiction over the Division's appeal because the Division was not a party to the district court proceedings, and had no standing to appeal from the September 2000 order. Thus, this court ordered the Division to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. This court also stated that if the Division could not demonstrate that it was a party to the proceedings below, it should address whether its appeal may be treated as a petition for extraordinary relief, in the interest of judicial efficiency. fn 2 [This court also ordered the minor's counsel to inform this court within twenty days whether the minor is an interested party to these proceedings and should be listed as a party on this court's docket. No response has been submitted. Accordingly, the minor shall not be added to the caption on this court's docket.] Having considered the Division's response, we conclude that the Division was not a party with standing to appeal from the district court's order. This court's rules extend the right to appeal only to aggrieved parties. Therefore, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. Nevertheless, we conclude that the Division may challenge the district court's order through a petition for extraordinary relief. In the interest of judicial efficiency, we elect to treat the Division's opening brief and joint appendix as a petition for extraordinary relief. The Division shall have ten days from the date of this order in which to serve the petition on the respondent district judge pursuant to NRAP 21(a), file proof of such service with the clerk of this court, and file an affidavit in support of the petition pursuant to NRS 34.170 or NRS 34.330 with the clerk of this court. The clerk of this court shall correct the caption to reflect that the petitioner is the Division, and the respondents are the Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division and Robert E. Gaston, District Judge. The respondents shall have thirty days from the date of this order in which to file and serve an answer to the petition. The Division shall thereafter have twenty days from service of the answer in which to file and serve any reply. | | 02-09974

| 09/11/2002 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order/Answer Writ Petition. To date, respondents have not filed an answer. Respondents shall have an additional 30 days from the date of this order to file an answer to the petition. It appears that the Clark County district Attorney is representing the respondent district judge in this matter. However, if the respondent judge will be filing a response on his own behalf, he shall so notify this court within 10 days from the date of this order. Petitioner shall have 20 days from service of the answer in which to file and serve any reply. Respondents are cautioned that failure to respond to this order may be construed as a confession of error. | | 02-15736

We grant respondents' motion and ' . . . dismiss this petition as moot.' fn6[In light of our order, we deny a moot respondents' September 23, 2002 petition for extension of time and October 28, 2002 motion to appear through private counsel and motion for extension of time, petitioner's November 7, 2002 motion for enlargement of time, and the Clark County District Attorney's September 25, 2002 request for clarification.] SNP03-MS/ML/NB | | 03-01965
