IN RE: THE GUARDIANSHIP OF: JUDITH RUMFORD, PROTECTED PERSON. STEVEN J. BANK, Appellant, v. KAREN KELLY, CLARK COUNTY PUBLIC GUARDIAN; AND JUDITH RUMFORD, PROTECTED PERSON, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion for preliminary injunction in a guardianship matter. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Bryce C. Duckworth, Judge.
On June 27, 2025, a notice was issued that directed appellant to file and serve by October 27, 2025, either (1) a brief that complies with the requirements in NRAP 28(a) and NRAP 32, or (2) the “Informal Brief Form for Pro Se Parties’’ which is available on the Nevada Supreme Court website. See NRAP 28(k). Appellant attempted to file an opening brief on July 21, 2025, however it was stricken as deficient and appellant was reminded an opening brief that conformed with the rules remained due by October 27, 2025.
When appellant failed to file the corrected opening brief this court issued an order on November 13, 2025, directing appellant to file and serve the corrected opening brief by December 1, 2025. The order cautioned appellant that failure to timely file the brief may result in the dismissal of this appeal. NRAP 31(d). To date, appellant has failed to file the corrected opening brief or otherwise communicate with this court. Accordingly, it appears that appellant has abandoned this appeal and this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
