LOMAX v. FAULKNER (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This appeal was docketed on July 26, 2024. Because the notice of appeal was not accompanied by the required proof of service, see NRAP 3(d)(1) (providing the notice of appeal must be served on all parties to the district court action and must “contain an acknowledgment of service or proof of service that conforms to the requirements of [NRAP] 25(d)”), on July 26, 2024, this court issued a notice directing appellant to provide this court with the required proof of service within 14 days. The notice advised that failure to comply could result in the dismissal of this appeal. See NRAP 3(a)(2) (“An appellant's failure to take any step other than the timely filing of a notice of appeal does not affect the validity of the appeal, but is ground only for the court to act as it deems appropriate, including dismissing the appeal”).

On August 14, 2024, appellant filed an informal brief. The informal brief also lacked proof of service of the document on respondents.

On August 9, 2024, appellant submitted a docketing statement for criminal appeals. Because this is a civil appeal, the docketing statement was returned unfiled. The docketing statement was due to be filed by August 16, 2024.

Because appellant bad not filed proof of service of the notice of appeal or the informal brief and bad not filed the docketing statement, on September 9, 2024, this court issued an order directing appellant to file these documents within 14 days. Appellant was cautioned that failure to comply would result in the dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellant has not complied. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. See NRAP 14(c).

It is so ORDERED.
