Robinson v. Karosa

 Law Library within 11 days of the date of this order and provide proof of
such payment within 15 days.
We have repeatedly stated that we expect all appeals to be
"pursued in a manner meeting high standards of diligence,
professionalism, and competence." Cuzdey v. State, 103 Nev. 575, 578, 747
P.2d 233, 235 (1987); accord Polk v. State, 126 Nev. 180, 184, 233 P.3d
357, 359 (2010); Barry v. Lindner, 119 Nev. 661, 671, 81 P.3d 537, 543
(2003); State, Nev. Emp't Sec. Dep't v. Weber, 100 Nev. 121, 123, 676 P.2d
1318, 1319 (1984). It is incumbent upon Mr Phillips, as part of his
professional obligations of competence and diligence to his clients, to know
and comply with all applicable court rules. See RPC 1.1; RPC 1.3. These
rules have been implemented to promote cost-effective, timely access to
the courts; it is "imperative" that he follow these rules and timely comply
with our directives. Weddell v. Stewart, 127 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 58, 261
P.3d 1080, 1084 (2011). Mr. Phillips is "not at liberty to disobey notices,
orders, or any other directives issued by this court." Id. at 261 P.3d at
1085.
Mr. Phillips's failure to comply with our rules and orders has
forced this court to divert our limited resources to ensure his compliance
and needlessly delayed the processing of this appeal. Therefore, we
remove Mr. Phillips as counsel in this appeal. See NRAP 31(d). Because
it appears that Mr. Phillips's conduct in this appeal may constitute
violations of RPC 1.3 (diligence), 3.2(a) (expediting litigation), and 8.4
(misconduct), we refer Mr. Phillips to the State Bar of Nevada for
investigation pursuant to SCR 104-105. Bar counsel shall, within 90 days
of the date of this order, inform this court of the status or results of the
investigation and any disciplinary proceedings in this matter.
