VANESSA LOVETT v. WILLIAM CHRISTENSEN (2026)

ORDER GRANTING REMAND AND DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order modifying child custody. Appellant has filed an NRAP 12A motion seeking a limited remand for the district court to enter an amended order modifying child custody; respondent has not filed an opposition and the time to do so has passed. The July 31, 2026, district court order attached to appellant's motion states that the parties stipulated on the record for appellant to have sole legal and physical custody of the minor child with respondent having no parenting time, and that they intended for such an order to be permanent. Based on that stipulated agreement, the district court's order temporarily granted appellant sole legal and physical custody and encouraged appellant to seek a remand from this court so that a permanent order could be entered. Having considered appellant's unopposed motion and the district court order, we conclude that remand is warranted for the district court to enter a new permanent custody order. See NRAP 12A. Although appellant asks that the remand only be limited and states she is not foregoing her other arguments on appeal, we conclude that dismissal is appropriate.  ¹ Accordingly, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
