Appellant's "Petition for Rehearing En Banc and Emergency Motion for Accountability of HDSP Mailroom, Law Library, and Chapel, and 'The Nevada Office of Consumer Assistance et. al.' in Ex Parte," filed on July 25, 2023 is likewise denied. Appellant, who is proceeding in forma pauperis, has filed transcript request forms pursuant to NRAP 9(b). At this stage of the proceedings, this court is unable to determine which transcripts, if any, are necessary for this court's review on appeal, and therefore, this court declines to order the preparation of the requested transcripts at this time. Appellant has filed a motion for clarification asking about the deadlines for filing of documents. Appellant is advised that the informal opening brief for pro se parties is due by October 12, 2023. The clerk shall provide appellant with a copy of the docket sheet. Appellant has failed to timely file the docketing statement. Appellant shall have 14 days from the date of this order to file and serve the docketing statement pursuant to NRAP 14. (SC)		23-26100

10/16/2023	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. Appellant has filed a motion requesting the appointment of appellate counsel. There is no Sixth Amendment right to appointed counsel in civil proceedings, and appellant has not demonstrated that the appointment of counsel is otherwise warranted in this case. Accordingly, the motion is denied. Appellant has also filed a motion requesting that oral argument be scheduled. At this time, it does not appear that oral argument is warranted, and we therefore deny the motion. If upon further review it appears that oral argument may be beneficial to resolution of this appeal, this court will schedule such argument. This court takes no action in regard to the document filed on September 26, 2023. It appears that appellant is objecting to a document filed in another court. (SC)		23-33619

10/23/2023	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. The motions filed by appellant on October 9 and 13, 2023, are denied. Appellant is seeking relief in another appeal to which he is not a party. In the future, any document filed by appellant containing multiple docket numbers will be summarily rejected. If appellant wishes to obtain relief from this court, he shall file a document containing a single docket number in each matter in which he is seeking relief. (SC)		23-34469
11/06/2023	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. This court takes no action in regard to the document filed by appellant on October 19, 2023, as the court cannot determine what, if any, relief appellant is seeking. (SC)		23-36127

12/20/2023	Motion	Filed Proper Person Motion.(Novo Hearing Requested)(SC)		23-41352
12/22/2023	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. Appellant's motion for production of documents requesting all documents, papers, pleadings and tangible property in the possession of Brian P. Clark, Scott Poisson, Bernstein & Poisson, LLP, Bernard H. Little, Erica Tosh, and Jason Barrus is denied. Appellant's "Emergency Opposition and Emergency Motion and Order for Transportation," "Emergency Objection and Opposition to the Order on Pending Motions efiled on 5/15/23," and "Emergency Notice of Intention to Enter Default(s)," filed on December 7, 2023, do not appear to request any relief that this court can grant, and this court takes no action on these documents. Regarding appellant's "Emergency Motion for Clarification" filed on December 7, 2023. This court has not received the supplemental brief or docketing statement in this matter. Appellant's informal brief was filed on December 7, 2023. (SC)		23-41697

01/24/2024	Motion	Filed Proper Person Motion. (SC)		24-02755
04/01/2024	Order/Procedural	Filed Order. The motion for a new trial or stay filed on December 20, 2023, is denied as it appears to request to "reopen this case." This appeal is not closed and is still ongoing. This court takes no action on appellant's "informal opening brief and emergency opposition" filed on December 20, 2023, and "supplemental brief and opposition" filed on January 2, 2023, because appellant's informal brief was filed on December 7, 2023, and appellant is not permitted to file a second opening brief. See NRAP 28. Insofar as these documents challenge the order filed on July 27, 2023, in docket no. 84886-COA, they are not proper in this appeal. Appellant does not request any other relief that this court can grant. This court takes no action on the "emergency opposition and renewed objection" filed on December 27, 2023, and the "notice of intention to enter default" filed on January 16, 2024, as these documents do not request any relief that this court can grant. Insofar as the "emergency interpleadings of fact" filed on January 24, 2024, can be construed as a motion to substitute parties, it is denied as appellant provides no grounds to substitute parties. Appellant does not request any other relief that this court can grant. Appellant's "emergency opposition to defendant's motion for a vexatious litigant order" filed on January 24, 2024, where appellant requests "complete case, docket sheets, transcripts, minute orders, etc." is denied. The entire district court record was transmitted to this court and has been filed in this appeal. (SC)		24-11417
