LESLIE MARK STOVALL, D/B/A No. 69291 STOVALL & ASSOCIATES, Appellant, FILED vs. JUN 0 3 2016 BRANDEN MCDONALD, Respondent.

ORDER CONDITIONALLY IMPOSING SANCTIONS On February 17, 2016, this court entered an order reinstating briefing as the parties were unable to agree to a settlement of this appeal, and directed appellant to file a transcript request form by March 3, 2016.

When appellant failed to comply, the clerk of this court issued a notice on March 23, 2016, that again directed appellant's counsel, Leslie Mark Stovall, to file a transcript request form within 10 days.' See NRAP 9(a).

We cautioned Mr. Stovall that failure to request transcripts in compliance with NRAP 9 could result in the imposition of sanctions, including dismissal of this appeal. To date, Mr. Stovall has failed to comply with this court's order entered on February 17, 2016, or the notice issued on March 23, 2016. Further, the opening brief and appendix are now overdue.

We conclude that Mr. Stovall's failure to file the transcript request form and the opening brief and appendix warrants the conditional imposition of sanctions. See NRAP 9(a)(7); NRAP 31(d). Within 15 days

"A copy of this notice is attached.

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA from the date of this order, Mr. Stovall shall pay the sum of $250 to the Supreme Court Law Library and provide this court with proof of such payment. The conditional sanction will be automatically vacated if Mr. Stovall files and serves the transcript request form 2 and the opening brief and appendix or a motion for an extension that complies with NEAP 31(b)(3)(13) within 11 days from the date of this order.

If the required documents are 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 will result in the dismissal of this appeal. Further, because it appears that Mr. Stovall's conduct in this appeal may constitute violations of RPC 3.2(a) (expediting litigation) and 8.4 (misconduct), failure to comply with this order or any other filing deadlines will also result in Mr. Stovall's referral to the State Bar of Nevada for investigation pursuant to SCR 104-105.

It is so ORDERED.
