IN RE ZUKOSKY ESTATE
LC No. 2022-021032-DE
ORDER
Stephen L. Borrello, Chief Judge Pro Tem, acting under MCR 7.211(E)(2), orders:
Appellees' motion to compel appellant to order transcript and otherwise comply with applicable court rules is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART.
The motion is GRANTED to the following extent. Within 21 days after the date of this order, appellant shall order preparation of a transcript of the April 18, 2024 hearing date in accordance with MCR 7.210 and file with this Court a copy of documentation showing he has done so. Further, within 21 days after the date of this order, appellant shall comply with his obligation under MCR 7.210(C) to file exhibits offered in evidence in this matter with the trial court and shall serve on appellees' counsel copies of his docketing statement, the probate court register of actions that he filed with this Court, and the filings that he made in this Court on May 28, 2024 and June 24, 2024. Appellant is also cautioned that he should serve copies of future pleadings on appellees as required by the court rules. Further, while appellant's failure to file an appendix with his stricken appellant's brief is a moot point, he should file an appropriate appendix when he submits his amended appellant's brief as required by MCR 7.212(J).
Appellees' request for relief as to the due date for their brief on appeal is DENIED because any such request to extend time for filing their brief should be made in a separate motion filed after the filing of an amended appellant's brief.
