ORDER PAMELA JO POLEJEWSKI, Respondent and Appellant. On June 1, 2021, this Court denied self-represented Appellant Pamela Jo Polejewski's Motion for Reconsideration and set a briefing schedule. At that time, we also stated that we would not consider any further motions filed by Polejewski. Pending before this Court is Polejewski's Rule 11 FRCP Request for Sanctions, filed May 26, 2021, and the response in opposition filed by counsel for Appellee Cascade County Attorneys. Upon review, Polejewski's Request for Sanctions is not properly before this Court because the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure(FRCP)do not apply here. We observe that on June 22,2021,this Court returned Polejewski's opening brieffor deficiencies, pursuant to M. R. App. P. 12, and directed her to file the brief within ten days. We take this opportunity to set a revised briefing schedule. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Polejewski's "Rule 11 FRCP Request for Sanction Who uses the court forum for the purpose of harassing and character [assassination] of the opposing party" is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Polejewski's opening brief is due on or before Friday, July 9, 2021, and that the response brief is due on or before Monday, August 9, 2021.
