    Coughlin Tolling Agreement.docx (20.6 KB)

    Dear Mr. Coughlin,

    I am attaching a copy of a proposed tolling agreement for your review.

    In response to your question below, we are presently in 11.22 investigation (see 37 CFR 11.22 (f) and (h)). There

    are three types of general discipline at the PTO, including direct, interim, and reciprocal. The direct 11.22 type is

    focusing on direct discipline related to everything taken as a whole. The interim discipline type under 11.25 is only

    for serious crimes as defined in 11.1 and petty theft does not appear significant enough for the PTO to takeinterim discipline on that alone. The reciprocal discipline type under 11.24 (especially 11.24(e) and related 37

    CFR 10.23(c)(5)) requires final adjudication, not interim, from another jurisdiction such as Nevada.

    Please review the attached tolling agreement and let me know if it is acceptable to you.

    Sincerely,

    -Tom

    Tom McBride Jr.

    filed by Appellant Z AC HA RY B AK ER 'CO UG HL IN (hereafter Appellant ) on December 23,2011. Following, on February 7, 2012, Appellant filed his Opening Brief on Appeal.Thereafter, on February 23, 2012, R espondent CIT Y O F R EN O (hereinafter R espondent')filed its Answering Brief. The matter is now before the Court for its consideration.

    This matter comes before the Court on a criminal appeal from the Reno MunicipalCourt. On November 30, 2011, Appellant was convicted of Petit Larceny, a violation ofRMC 8.10.040. Thereafter, on December 13, 2011, Appellant filed a Notice of Appeal withthe Co urt .

    1 own behalf, that certain evidence should have been suppressed pursuant to the Fourth2 Amendment of the United States Constitution, that his conviction is not supported by3 sufficient evidence, and that fflurther improprieties and due process deficiencies4 occurred.5 nfortunately, Appellant neither supports his arguments with relevant authority nor6 citations to relevant portions of the record. Most importantly, Appellant has failed to7 provide this Court with a copy of the transcript of relevant proceedings in the Reno8 Municipal Court. The Nevada Supreme Court has held that an [a]ppellant has the ultimate9 responsibility to provide this court with 'portions of the record essential to determination of

    10 issues raised in appellant's appeal.' Thomas v. State 120 Nev. 37 n. 4, 83 P.3d 81811 (2004) citing NRAP 30(b)(3). Further, NRAP 28(e) provides that [e]very assertion in12 briefs regarding matters in the record shall be supported by a reference to the page of the13 transcript or appendix where the matter relied on is to be found.14 hile Appellant did provide this Court with a Compact Disc containing a recording of15 the Municipal Court proceedings, Appellant did not cite to the portions of the Compact Disc16 that he felt supported his arguments, and it is not the responsibility of this Court to guess17 which portions of the Compact Disc might support Appellant's arguments. In short,18 Appellant did not satisfy his responsibility to supply and cite to relevant portions of the19 record merely by producing a Compact Disc recording of the entire Municipal Court20 proceeding.21 n light of Appellant's failure to provide this Court with an adequate appellate22 record, and Appellant's correspondent failure to cite to such a record, this Court is unable23 to conduct a meaningful review of Appellant's appeal. Thus, Appellant has failed to meet242526 12728

    1 his burden in providing an adequate appellate record and this Court must affirm the ruling2 of the Reno Municipal Court. 3 OW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the ruling of the Reno4 Municipal Court is AFFIRMED.5 T IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is remanded back to the Reno6 Municipal Court for all further proceedings.78 ATED this ay of March 2012.9

    1 EVEN PfELLIOTT11 istrict Judge12131415161718192212 22 32 42 52 6 t is worth noting that, pursuant to NRS 4.410(2), [Ole fees for transcripts and copies [of municipal court

    proceedings] must be paid by the party ordering them. In a civil case the preparation of the transcript need2 7 not commence until the fees have been deposited with the deputy clerk of the court. Accordingly, NRS189.030, which requires the municipal court to transmit various papers to the district court upon appeal, does2 8 not require action until such fees have been paid. Here, it appears that Appellant never paid the requisitefees to secure the transcription of the proceedings. For this reason, the appellate record Is incomplete.
