12/18/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order/Full Briefing. This court has concluded that full briefing of this appeal is warranted. fn1[If a party's brief will cite to documents not previously filed in this court, that party must file and serve an appropriately documented supplemental appendix with the brief.] Appellant shall have 30 days from the date of this order to file and serve the opening brief. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed as set forth in NRAP 31. fn2[On May 1, 2003, this court received a proper person motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and a proper person motion to dismiss counsel. On May 22, 2003, appellant's counsel submitted an opposition to the proper person motion to dismiss counsel. We have considered the proper person documents received in t his matter, and counsel's response, and we conclude that appellant has demonstrated no good reason for the dismissal of counsel at this point. Appellant shall proceed hereafter by and through counsel and shall address all concerns relating to this appeal to his court-appointed counsel.] 03-21051

03/09/2004Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motion. Appellant has again submitted a proper person motion for removal of his counsel. fn1[Because we elect to resolve this proper person motion on its merits, we direct the clerk of this court to file the motion received on February 10, 2004. However, we decline to grant appellant permission to file additional documents in proper person. NRAP 46(b). The clerk shall return, unfiled, any future proper person document submitted to this court.] No good cause appearing, we deny appellant's motion to remove his court-appointed counsel. Attached to appellant's motion is a document entitled 'Notice of Appeal.' Appellant appears to indicate in this document that he seeks to appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court from the Nevada Supreme Court's December 18, 2003, order. No statute or court rule authorizes such an appeal. Further, to the extent that appellant requests this court to reconsider the December 18, 2003, order, we deny the request. 04-04477
