| BRIEFING schedule set. Brief due 07/03/2024 for appellant Mary Seguin. Pursuant to F.R.A.P. 31(a), appellee's brief will be due 30 days following service of appellant's brief and appellant's reply brief will be due 21 days following service of appellee's brief. [23-1967, 23-1978, 24-1313] (GRC) [Entered: 05/24/2024 02:43 PM] |
ORDER entered by William J. Kayatta, Jr., Appellate Judge: Plaintiff-Appellant Mary Seguin has filed three related appeals from rulings made in a single district court case concerning child-support matters. Seguin named as defendants various Rhode Island agencies, officials and employees, (collectively, "the State Defendants-Appellees"), as well as an individual by the name of Gero Meyersiek. The court has considered Seguin's response to the order to show cause entered in Appeal No. 23-1978. That appeal shall proceed, with all jurisdictional and other issues reserved to the ultimate merits panel. Further, the three above-captioned appeals are consolidated for purposes of briefing and disposition. A consolidated briefing schedule will enter in the ordinary course. The ultimate merits panel will decide the proper scope of the appeals and will consider to an appropriate extent each argument developed in briefing. Numerous motions currently are pending in the appeals. As an initial matter, this court resolves appeals through the briefing process and generally does not engage in piecemeal adjudication of individual issues by way of motion practice. Going forward, the parties should focus on briefing and are strongly discouraged from filing further motions, especially motions addressing the merits of the district court's rulings and procedural handling of the underlying matter. Many of Seguin's motions concern the merits of the district court's rulings in the underlying matter and/or offer materials and arguments not placed before the district court. Those motions are denied , though Seguin is free to address relevant matters during briefing, and this denial is without prejudice to the pursuit of any specific argument during briefing. Again, the ultimate merits panel will decide this appeal based on the parties' briefs and will consider those matters properly encompassed by the appeals. In light of the foregoing, any requests for the court to strike filings by Seguin are denied . Seguin's sanctions motions are all denied , as Seguin has failed to identify legitimately sanctionable conduct, and Seguin is strongly discouraged from filing further such baseless motions. Any pending motions or requests not specifically addressed above are denied . Again, a consolidated briefing schedule will enter, and the parties are strongly encouraged to focus their attentions on briefing, not further motion practice.
