(g) Filing of Supplemental Fast Track Statement and Response. An original and one (1) copy of a supplemental fast track statement of not more than five (5) pages may be filed by appellate counsel if appellate counsel differs from trial counsel and if appellate counsel can assert material issues which should be considered and which were not raised in the fast track statement. The supplemental statement shall be filed with the Supreme Court and served upon opposing counsel no more than twenty (20) days after the filing of the fast track statement or appellate counsel’s appointment, whichever is later. A response to a supplemental fast track statement of not more than five (5) pages may be filed by the respondent and served upon opposing counsel no later than ten (10) days after the filing and service of the supplemental fast track statement.
(h) Extensions of Time.
(1) A court reporter or recorder may request by telephone a five (5) day extension of time for the preparation of a rough draft transcript if such preparation requires more time than is allowed under this Rule. If good cause is shown, the clerk of the Supreme Court or a designated deputy may grant such requests via telephone or by written order of the clerk. Subsequent extensions of time for filing rough draft transcripts shall be granted only upon motion to the Supreme Court. Such motions shall justify the requested extension in light of the time limits provided in this Rule, and shall specify the exact length of the extension requested. Extensions of time for the filing of rough draft transcripts shall be granted only upon demonstration of good cause. Sanctions may be imposed if such motions are brought without reasonable grounds.
(2) Counsel may request by telephone a five (5) day extension of time for filing fast track statements and responses, and supplemental fast track statements and responses. If good cause is shown, the clerk of the Supreme Court may grant such requests via telephone or by written order of the clerk. Subsequent extensions of time for filing fast track statements and responses, and supplemental fast track statements and responses shall be granted only upon motion to the Supreme Court. Such motions shall justify the requested extension in light of the time limits provided in this Rule, and shall specify the exact length of the extension requested. Extensions of time for the filing of fast track statements and responses, and supplemental fast track statements and responses shall be granted only upon demonstration of extreme need or merit. Sanctions may be imposed if such motions are brought without reasonable grounds.
(i) Amendments to Statements and Responses. Leave to amend fast track statements and responses, or supplemental fast track statements and responses shall be granted only upon motion to the Supreme Court. Motions to amend shall justify the absence of the offered arguments in the initial or supplemental fast track statement or response. Such motions shall be granted only upon demonstration of extreme need or merit.
(j) Full Briefing, Calendaring or Summary Disposition.
(1) Based solely upon review of the rough draft transcript, fast track statement, fast track response, and any supplemental documents, the Supreme Court may summarily dismiss the appeal, may affirm or reverse the decision appealed from without further briefing or argument, may order the appeal to be fully briefed and argued or submitted for decision without argument, may order that briefing and any argument be limited to specific issues, or may direct the appeal to proceed in any manner reasonably calculated to expedite its resolution and promote justice.
(2) If the Supreme Court orders an appeal to be fully briefed, and neither party objects to the sufficiency of the rough draft transcripts to adequately inform this court of the issues raised in the appeal, counsel are not required to file certified transcript request forms pursuant to N.R.A.P. 9(a). If a party’s brief will cite to a transcript not previously filed in this court, that party shall cause a supplemental transcript to be prepared and filed in the district court and the Supreme Court pursuant to N.R.A.P. 9 within the time specified for filing the brief in the Supreme Court’s briefing order. If a party’s brief will cite to documents not previously filed in this court, that party shall file and serve an appropriately documented supplemental appendix with the brief.
(k) Reserved.
(l) Withdrawal of Appeal. If an appellant no longer desires to pursue an appeal after the notice of appeal is filed, counsel responsible for the appeal at that time shall file with the Supreme Court a notice of withdrawal of appeal. The notice of withdrawal of appeal shall substantially comply with Form 8 of the Appendix of Forms.
(m) Court Reporter or Recorder Protection and Compensation. When preparing and submitting rough draft transcripts under this Rule,
(1) Court reporters or recorders shall not be subject to civil, criminal or administrative causes of action for inaccuracies in a rough draft transcript unless the court reporter or recorder willfully:
(i) Fails to take full and accurate stenographic notes of the criminal proceeding for which the rough draft transcript is submitted, or willfully and improperly alters stenographic notes from the criminal proceeding, or willfully transcribes audio or video tapes inaccurately; and
(ii) Such willful conduct proximately causes injury or damage to the party asserting the action, and that party demonstrates that appellate or post-conviction relief was granted or denied based upon the court reporter’s or recorder’s inaccuracies.
(2) Compensation. Court reporters shall be compensated as follows:
(i) For the preparation of a rough draft transcript, the court reporter shall receive one hundred (100) percent of the rate established by NRS 3.370 for each transcript page as defined by NRS 3.370 and $25.00 for costs. Costs include the cost of an ASCII diskette, which is included with the original and each copy of the rough draft transcript, and the cost of delivery of the original and copies of the rough draft transcript. In the event that overnight delivery is required to or from outlying areas, that cost shall be additional.
(ii) In the event a certified transcript is ordered after the rough draft transcript is prepared, the court reporter shall receive an additional fee equal to twenty-five (25) percent of the amount established by NRS 3.370 for the already prepared rough draft portion of the transcript. Any portions not included with the rough draft transcript will be compensated by the amount established by NRS 3.370.
(n) Sanctions. Any attorney, court reporter, or court recorder who lacks due diligence in compliance with this Rule may be subject to sanctions by the Supreme Court. Sanctionable actions include, but are not limited to, failure of trial counsel to file a timely fast track statement or fast track response; failure of trial counsel to fully cooperate with appellate counsel during the course of the appeal; and failure of counsel to raise material issues or arguments in a fast track statement, response, supplemental statement or supplemental response.
(o) Conflict. The provisions of this Rule shall prevail over conflicting provisions of any other rule.
