Define the differential operators φn for n ∈ N inductively by φ1[f](z)=f(z)and φn+1[f](z)=f(z)φn[f](z)+d/dzφn[f](z).For a positive integer k≥2 and a positive number δ,let F be the family of functions f meromorphic on domain D?C such that φk[f](z)≠ 0 and |Res(f,a)-j|≥δ for all j ∈{0,1,...,k-1}and all simple poles a of f in D.Then F is quasi-normal on D of order 1.
