03/01/2001	Other	Other. Submission of Certified Copies of Norway Appellate Court Order.		01-03837
03/05/2001	Motion	Filed Motion. Respondent's Request to Supplement Record for Writs of Probhibition/Mandamus.		01-03994
03/12/2001	Motion	Filed Response to Motion. Opposition to Respondent's Request to Supplement Record for Writs of Prohibition/Mandamus.		01-04369
03/23/2001	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. On February 15, 2001, petitioner Cisilie A. Vaile filed a motion requesting leave to file supplemental exhibits, specifically, a translation of an order issued by a Norwegian appellate court. On February 16, 2001, this court entered an order granting the motion. On February 26, 2001, real party in interest R. Scotlund Vaile filed an opposition to petitioner's motion. We elect to treat the opposition as a motion for reconsideration or our order entered on February 16, 2001. No good cause appearing, we deny the motion for reconsideration. On March 5, 2001, real party in interest R. Scotlund Vaile filed a motion to supplement the record in this matter with a copy of a district court order entered in the proceedings below on February 18, 2000. A copy of the order is attached to the motion as Exhibit 1. On March 12, 2001, petitioner filed an opposition to the motion to supplement the record. Although petitioner does not object to supplementation of the record, petitioner does object to "misstatements in the explanatory text making up [the] motion to supplement the record." Petitioner's opposition contains a discussion of the purported inaccuracies. We grant the real party in interest's motion to supplement the record in this matter. Accordingly, in taking this matter under consideration this court shall consider the real party in interest's motion to supplement, the district court order attached to the motion, and petitioner's points and authorities in opposition to the motion. We note that since the initial filing of the writ petition and four-volume appendix, the parties have moved to supplement the record before this court on three separate occasions. It appears that the record before this court is sufficient and adequate to fully dispose of the questions presented in the petition. Accordingly, absent unforeseeable and extreme circumstances, this court does not expect additional motions for leave to supplement the record.		01-05191
04/11/2002	Opinion/Dispositional	Filed Authored Opinion. "Petition granted." We grant the petition and direct the clerk of this court to issue a writ of mandamus.
