December 10, 2020 Filing 16 Filed order (ANDREW D. HURWITZ and BRIDGET S. BADE) Upon a review of the record, and response to this courts November 9, 2020 order to show cause, we conclude that minor M. R. G. did not appear in the district court and is therefore not an appropriate party to this appeal. The Clerk shall remove M. R. G. from the docket. Appellants motion for appointment of counsel (Docket Entry No. [ # 3 ]) is denied. No motions for reconsideration, clarification, or modification of this denial shall be filed or entertained. Appellants motion for injunctive relief (Docket Entry No. [ # 6 ]) is denied. Appellants motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Docket Entry No. [ # 8 ]) is denied because we find that appellant is not indigent. Within 28 days after the date of this order, appellant shall pay to the district court the $505.00 filing and docketing fees for this appeal and file in this court proof of such payment. Failure to pay the fees shall result in the automatic dismissal of the appeal by the Clerk for failure to prosecute. See 9th Cir. R. 42-1. The opening brief is due February 3, 2021; the answering brief is due March 5, 2021; and the optional reply brief is due within 21 days after service of the answering brief. Because appellant is proceeding without counsel, appellant is not required to file the excerpts of record. See 9th Cir. R. 30-1.3. If appellant does not file excerpts of record, appellees must file Supplemental Excerpts of Record that contain all of the documents that are cited in the pro se opening brief or otherwise required by Rule 30-1.4, as well as the documents that are cited in the answering brief.
