Appellant has filed a motion for leave to refile all appendices and update citations in the opening brief, a motion to file volume 19 of the appendix under seal, and a motion for the transmission of original exhibits. The request to strike these volumes is denied as moot. The clerk shall strike the indexes to the appendix and the opening brief filed on November 10, 2025. Appellant shall have 14 days from the date of this order to file and serve an amended opening brief, amended indexes, and amended appendix volumes I-VI. Appellant has not provided this court with a copy of the documents he seeks to file under seal in volume 19 of the appendix. See Howard v. State, 128 Nev. 736, 746, 291 P.3d 137, 143 (2012). This court defers ruling on the motion pending receipt and consideration of appellant's proposed appendix volume 19. Proposed volume 19 due: 7 days. Appellant's motion for the transmission of original exhibits seeks transmission of the JAVS recordings of the evidentiary hearing and closing arguments. The motion is denied without prejudice.

12/15/2025	Order/Procedural	Filed Order Denying Motion. Appellant has filed a motion for leave to file volume 19 of the appendix under seal. While it may be appropriate to seal the documents within volume 19, this court is unable to accept volume 19 for filing because the documents therein do not bear the file-stamp of the district court clerk, or its equivalent, an exhibit sticker. Accordingly, the motion is denied without prejudice. The clerk shall return proposed volume 19, received on December 5, 2025, unfiled. If appellant believes the documents at issue were presented to and/or considered by the district court in the underlying proceedings but omitted from the record on appeal, appellant may proceed in the district court under NRAP 10(c) to correct the record to reflect that the documents are part of the district court record. If the district court determines that the documents should be included in the district court record, the court shall enter an order directing the documents to be file stamped or marked as an exhibit. No remand from this court is necessary to proceed under NRAP 10(c). If appellant elects to utilize the NRAP 10(c) procedure, appellant shall so notify this court, in writing, within 7 days of the date of this order. Alternatively, if the documents were attached as exhibits to documents filed in the district court, appellant should include the exhibits in the appendix in the same manner they were presented in the district court, i.e. attached to the file-stamped document. (SC)		25-54401

01/26/2026	Order/Procedural	Filed Order Regarding Motions. Appellant has filed a motion asking this court to direct the clerk of the district court to transmit several sealed exhibits to this court. The motion is denied without prejudice. Appellant's motion for leave to file corrected volume 17 of the appendix under seal is granted. The clerk shall file volume 17, received on December 16, 2025, under seal. Appellant has also filed a motion to strike volumes 7-18 of the appendix filed on November 10, 2025, as well as his November 10, 2025, motion to file volume 19 of the appendix under seal. The motion is granted to the following extent. The clerk shall strike appendix volumes 7-18 filed on November 10, 2025. This court declines to strike appellant's motion to file volume 19 of the appendix under seal. However, this court construes the motion as a notice that the relief sought is no longer necessary and will take no action on the motion. (SC)		26-03740
