01/31/2005Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Denying Motion and Reinstating Briefing. Presently before the court is respondents Pat Dwyer Self's, Donald E. Self, Jr.'s, and '4' Mac, Inc.'s November 5, 2004 motion to dismiss the appeal in Docket No. 43862 for lack of jurisdiction. Appellants James Dwyer, III, Beth Dwyer, Thermal Energy Systems, Inc., and Geo Energy Source, Inc., filed an opposition on November 15, 2004.fn1[We grant respondents' motion for an extension of time to file a reply, and we direct the clerk of this court to file the reply, provisionally received on January 10, 2005.] Under the current version of NRAP 4(a), we conclude that appellants' notice of appeal is effective, simply having remained dormant from the date of filing until the resolution of appellants' tolling motion on September 9, 2004. fn10[See NRAP 4(a)(6).] Consequently, we deny respondents' motion to dismiss the appeal in Docket No. 43862. Appellants in Docket No. 43862 shall have 90 days from the date of this order within which to file and serve the opening brief and appendix. Respondents in Docket No. 43862 and appellants in Docket No. 44043 shall then have 30 days within which to file and serve a combined answering/opening brief and an appendix. Appellants in Docket No. 43862 and respondents in Docket No. 44043 shall then have 30 days within which to file and serve an answering brief combined with any reply brief. Finally, appellants in Docket No. 44043 shall then have 30 days within which to file and serve any reply brief. No extensions of this briefing schedule will be considered by the court absent extreme and unforeseeable circumstances. Nos. 43862/44043. (05-01919)

07/26/2005Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On April 1, 2005, the Dwyer appellants filed a motion for a 60-day extension of time to file the opening brief and appendix. On July 11, 2005, respondents in Docket No. 43862 (Self respondents) filed a motion to dismiss the appeal in Docket No. 43862. The Self respondents argue that they should be allowed 'to file their appeals separate and apart from an answering brief.' The Dwyer appellants oppose the motion to dismiss. We prefer to decide cases on their merits. We deny the motion to dismiss appeal and deny the request of Self respondents to file separate appeals from the answering brief. We grant the motion for an extension of time. The clerk shall file the opening brief and appendix received on July 1, 2005. The Self respondents shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file and serve their combined brief. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with our January 31, 2005, order. On April 4, 2005, attorney Adam Levine filed a document on behalf of appellants in Docket No. 43862 entitled 'Consent to Service by Facsimile.' NRCP 5 does not apply to proceedings in this court. We disapprove service by electronic means in this case. Until such time as this court amends its rules to allow for service by electronic means, all documents must be served in accordance with NRAP 25(1)(c). fn2[A copy of the transcript form is attached to this order.] To date, court reporter Lisa Lizotte has not filed the requested transcript for proceedings conducted on June 7, 2004. Ms. Lizotte shall have 20 days from the date of this order to prepare and file the June 7, 2004, transcript. If more time is needed to complete the preparation of the transcript, Ms. Lizotte shall, within the same time period, file a motion requesting an extension of time and stating the reason for the extension. If the requested transcript cannot be produced, Ms. Lizotte shall notify this court, in writing, of this fact. Nos. 43862/44043. (05-14832)
