ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was docketed in this court on October 16, 2023. 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 2, 2024, this court entered an order directing appellant to filed the required proof of service within 14 days. Appellant was cautioned that the failure to comply would result in the dismissal of this appeal.
On July 29, 2024, appellant filed a “Proof of Service of Notice of Appeal, Proof of Service of the Joinder of Appeal, Suppliment (sic) to Appellants’ (sic) Opening Brief and Statement of Facts.” The certificates of service included in this document predate the filing of this appeal by many months and indicate that the documents served were an “Emergency Motion for Transportation of Inmate for Court Appearance․” and an “Emergency Motion to Vacate Dismissal From July 7, 2023, and Minute Order on 8-04-2023 Under NRCP 59 and NRCP 60.” The certificates of service do not demonstrate that the notice of appeal was served on the respondents. Because appellant has failed to provide proof the notice of appeal was served on respondents, this appeal is dismissed.
It is so ORDERED.
