Opinions

McEVERS, Justice.

[¶ 1] Edward Tarnavsky appealed from multiple orders denying his motions for relief under N.D.R.Civ.P. 60(d)(1) and from a judgment dismissing his cross-claim. We summarily affirm the orders and judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).

[¶ 2] These appeals represent yet another chapter in Edward Tarnavsky’s lengthy pattern of frivolous, repetitious litigation. See Tarnavsky v. Tarnavsky, 2012 ND 202, 821 N.W.2d 385; Tarnavsky v. Tschider, 2011 ND 207, 806 N.W.2d 438; Tarnavsky v. Tarnavsky, 2011 ND 198, 806 N.W.2d 438; Tarnavsky v. Rankin, 2010 ND 77, 789 N.W.2d 731; Tarnavsky v. Tschider, 2010 ND 70, 789 N.W.2d 731; Tarnavsky v. Rankin, 2009 ND 149, 771 N.W.2d 578; Tarnavsky v. Tarnavsky, 2008 ND 179, 756 N.W.2d 548; Tarnavsky v. Tarnavsky, 2007 ND 183, 742 N.W.2d 840; Tarnavsky v. Tarnavsky, 2006 ND 124, 717 N.W.2d 534; Tarnavsky v. Tarnavsky, 2003 ND 110, 666 N.W.2d 444. We therefore order Edward Tarnavsky to pay attorney fees in the amount of $1,000 and double costs for these two cases consolidated on appeal. See N.D.R.App.P. 38. We further order that in any future case involving these same parties in which Edward Tarnavsky is the appellant no appel-lee’s brief will be required unless ordered by the Court.
