KHARI VARNER, Appellant, v. DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY SERVICES, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a petition for writ of mandamus for lack of service. Eighth Judicial District Court. Clark County; Veronica Barisich, Judge.
On January 17, 2025. this court issued a notice directing-appellant to. among other things, file and serve a transcript request form or certificate of no transcript request within 14 days, the docketing statement within 21 days, and the opening brief or informal brief within 120 days. When appellant failed to file the transcript request form or certificate of no transcript request and the docketing statement, this court issued an order on March 5, 2025, directing appellant to file and serve a transcript request form or certificate of no transcript request and the docketing statement by March 12, 2025. See NRAP 9; NRAP 14(b). The order cautioned that failure to timely comply could result in the dismissal of this appeal. Appellant attempted to file a transcript request form and docketing statement on March 12, 2025, however, they were stricken as deficient, and appellant was ordered to file a corrected transcript request form and corrected docketing statement by March 27. 2025. When appellant failed to file a corrected transcript request form and corrected docketing statement, this court entered an order on April 16, 2025, directing appellant to file and serve a corrected transcript request form or certificate of no transcript request and the corrected docketing statement by April 23, 2025. The order again cautioned that failure to comply could result in the dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellant has failed to file a corrected transcript request form or certificate of no transcript request and a corrected docketing statement. Additionally, appellant has failed to file the opening brief or informal brief which was due on May 19. 2025. Accordingly, as it appears appellant has abandoned this appeal, this court
