02/04/2020Order/ProceduralFiled Order. Appellant's untimely motion for an extension of time to file the docketing statement and transcript request form is granted. The docketing statement and rough draft transcript request form were filed on January 24, 2020.   However, this court is unable to accept the rough draft transcript request form.  This appeal is not subject to the fast track rules, see NRAP 3C(a)(3), and appellant must request certified transcripts rather than rough draft transcripts, see NRAP 9(a).  In addition, the rough draft transcript request form does not bear the file-stamp of the district court clerk.  See NRAP 9(a)(3)(1).  Accordingly, the clerk shall reject the rough draft transcript request form filed on January 24, 2020. Appellant's Transcript Request Form due: 7 days. Appellant has filed a pro se letter in which she points out counsel's failure to timely file the docketing statement and transcript request form and requests guidance regarding how to remedy counsel's "lack of interest."  This court is confident that counsel for appellant will act diligently to meet all future deadlines in this appeal.  (SC).20-04771
