MERKERSON v. RIVERS (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

On August 26, 2024, this court granted appellant's motion for an extension of time to file the docketing statement and for an extension of time to file the child custody fast track statement. The order directed appellant to file and serve the docketing statement within 21 days from the date of the order and to file and serve the fast track statement within 45 days from the date of the order.

On September 9, 2024, this court entered an order regarding transcripts. The order directed appellant to, within 14 days of the order, (1) file a transcript request form if he desires production of additional transcripts; (2) pay the deposit for the January 23, 2024, transcript already requested; (3) notify this court in writing if he no longer requires production of transcripts; and (4) file a copy of any requested transcripts that he has received in this court. The order further reminded appellant that the fast track statement remained due to be filed by October 10, 2024.

When appellant failed to comply with the September 9 order or file his fast track statement, this court entered an order on October 23, 2024, directing appellant to file and serve the docketing statement, pay the deposit for the requested transcript if he has not done so already or inform this court in writing that the transcript is no longer required, and file and serve the fast track statement within 14 days of the order. See NRAP 14; NRAP 3E(c)(3); NRAP 3E(d)(1). The order cautioned that failure to timely comply with the order may result in the dismissal of this appeal as abandoned. To date, appellant has failed to comply with the court's orders or to otherwise communicate with this court. Accordingly, as it appears appellant has abandoned this appeal, this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
