ORDER REINSTATING BRIEFING, IMPOSING CONDITIONAL SANCTION, AND DIRECTING COUNSEL TO FILE CORRECTED DOCKETING STATEMENT

Pursuant to NRAP 16, the settlement judge has filed a report with this court indicating that the parties were unable to agree to a settlement. .Accordingly, we reinstate the deadlines for requesting transcripts and filing briefs. See NRAP 16. Appellants shall have 14 days from the date of this order to file and serve a transcript request form. If no transcript is to be requested, appellants shall file and serve a certificate to that effect within the same time period. See NRAP 9(a). Further, appellants shall have 90 days from the date of this order to file and serve the opening. brief and appendix. In preparing and assembling the appendix, counsel shall strictly comply with the provisions of NRAP 30. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1). Finally, on September 10, 2020, this court issued a notice informing the parties that this appeal may be assigned to the court's settlement program. This notice also noted that the docketing statement must be filed and served within 21 days of the date of the notice and that the timeline for the docketing statement was not stayed by the notice.' See NRAP 16(a)(1). On October 8, 2020, appellants filed the untimely docketing statement. Accordingly, this court issued a notice rejecting the docketing statement and directed appellants to resubmit the docketing statement with an accompanying motion for extension of time.2 On November 23, 2020, appellants filed a motion for extension of time to file the docketing statement, and on December 2, 2020, this court granted that motion, directing appellants to file the docketing statement within 7 days from the date of that order.3 As the docketing statement had not been filed, on January 4, 2021, this court entered an order again directing appellants to file the docketing statement within 7 days. Appellants were cautioned that failure to comply timely with that order would result in the imposition of sanctions.4 See NRAP 14(c).

Swann COURT OF NEVADA 2 i0) 1947P% 429P,

111 docketing statOrnent within 5 days.5 As of the date of this order, the corrected docketing statement has not been filed. Appellant& counsel's continued failure to file the docketing statement in compliance with the court's procedural rules and the notices and orders issued in this appeal warrants the conditional inaposition of sanctions. Accordingly, appellants counsel, Steven H. Burke, shall, within 14 days from the date of this order, pay the sum of $250 to the Supreme Court Law Library and provide this court with proof of such payment. However, this sanction shall be automatically vacated if Mr. Burke files and serves a complete and accurate docketing statement within the same time period. If the• docketing -statement is not timely filed, the sanction will no longer be conditional and must be paid. Failure to comply with this order or any other filing deadlines may result in the dismissal of this appeal. See NRAP 3(a)(2). Further, because it appears that Mr. Burke's conduct in this appeal may constitute violations of RPC 1.3 (diligence), 3.2(a) (expediting litigation), and 8.4 (misconduct), failure to comply with this order or any other filing deadlines rnAy also result in Mr. Burkes referral to the State Bar of Nevada for investigation pursuant to SCR 104-105. It is so ORDERED.
