03/20/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order/Show Cause. In response to our order of February 12, 2003, the parties obtained an order dismissing Aleff Industries from the action below. Additionally, appellants/cross-respondents (appellants) timely filed an amended notice appeal. Accordingly, as the jurisdictional defect has been cured as to appellants, we conclude this court has jurisdiction to consider appellants' appeal. It does not appear that respondent/ cross-appellant (respondent) has filed an amended notice of appeal. In order to vest jurisdiction in this court, respondent must file a timely amended notice of appeal. fn1[See NRAP 4(a)(4) (no additional fees shall be required if any party files an amended notice of appeal in order to comply with the provisions of this rule).]Respondent shall have 20 days from the date of this order to show cause why its appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. We note that respondent may cure the jurisdictional defect by timely filing an amended notice of appeal. Briefing of this appeal and cross-appeal shall remain suspended pending further order of this court. 03-04807

Appellants/cross-respondents (appellants) and respondent/ cross-appellant (respondent) shall each have 15 days from the date of this order to comply with NRAP 9(a). In the event either party does not intend to rely on any transcripts in this appeal or cross-appeal, that party shall file and serve a certificate indicating that no transcripts are requested. If either party intends to cite in the opening brief to transcripts that were filed in the district court prior to the docketing of this appeal and cross-appeal, copies of these transcripts shall be included in the appendix and a certificate indicating that no new transcripts are requested shall be filed and served. If, however, either party intends to cite to transcripts that were not filed in the district court prior to the docketing of this appeal and cross-appeal, a transcript request form identifying the necessary transcripts shall be filed and served. Appellants shall have 120 days from the date of this order to file and serve the opening brief and appendix on appeal. Respondent shall have 30 days from service of appellants' opening brief to file and serve a combined answering brief on appeal and opening brief on cross-appeal.

11/25/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. regarding Transcripts and to file Supplemental Appendix. On October 1, 2003, appellants/cross-respondents (appellants) filed an amended transcript request form requesting court recorder Cat Nelson and Cline Transcription Services to produce the trial transcripts. We note that the transcript request form requests the production of transcripts that were filed in the district court prior to the docketing of this appeal and therefore the request for these transcripts was improper. Accordingly, we conclude that Ms. Nelson and Cline Transcription Services are not obligated to file the requested transcripts. Appellants' opening brief cites to the trial transcripts. We note, however, that appellant has failed to include copies of those transcripts in the appendix to the opening brief. Appellant shall have 15 days from the date of this order to file a supplemental appendix that includes certified copies of the trial transcripts. We caution appellants' counsel that future failure to comply with the rules may result in the imposition of sanctions. 03-19650

02/13/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Granting Motion and Disapproving Stipulation. Appellants/cross-respondents ('appellants') have moved for an extension of time to file the combined reply brief on appeal and answering brief on cross-appeal. Respondent/cross-appellant ('respondent') opposes the motion. fn1[Because appellants have not yet submitted the combined brief, we deny respondent's counter-motion to strike.] Cause appearing, we grant the motion. Appellants shall have until February 17, 2004, to file and serve the combined brief. We remind appellants that counsel's caseload does not constitute good cause for granting an extension. No further extensions shall be granted absent extreme and unforeseeable circumstances. The parties have also filed a 'Stipulation Regarding the Contents of Exhibit 38. The parties now stipulate that respondent will 'withdraw Page 19, lines 7-11' of its combined brief and 'supplement its Appendix to incorporate the documents subject to this Stipulation.' Likewise, appellants stipulate to 'amend [their] Appendix by removing PC0294, PC0295 and PC0296 . . . and included [sic] the redacted version of PC0240.' We disapprove the parties' stipulation. This disapproval is without prejudice to the parties' right to re-file a stipulation that clearly identifies the parties' intentions. Further, any such stipulation shall clearly identify the portions of appellants' appendix, by page number, that are to be amended and shall clearly state the reasons for why supplementing respondent's appendix is necessary. 04-02831

02/24/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On February 13, 2004, this court entered an order that granted appellants' motion for an extension of time to file the combined reply brief on appeal and answering brief on cross-appeal. That same order also denied respondent's counter-motion to strike appellants' combined brief. On February 17, 2004, appellants filed a reply and opposition to respondent's opposition and counter-motion to strike. fn1[Appellants also filed an errata to this document that same day.] It was improper for appellants to have filed a reply to respondent's opposition without first seeking leave to do so from this court. Accordingly, this court will take no action on appellants' reply. Further, because our February 13, 2004, order denied respondent's counter-motion to strike, this court will take no action on appellants' opposition to the counter-motion to strike. 04-03504
