ATKINSON v. WINDSOR EL CAMINO CARE CENTER (2025)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

On April 1, 2025, this court issued a notice directing appellant to, among other things, file and serve, by July 30, 2025, either (1) a brief that complies with the requirements in NRAP 28(a) and NRAP 32, or (2) the “Informal Brief Form for Pro Se Parties” which is available on the Nevada Supreme Court website. See NRAP 28(k). The notice cautioned appellant that failure to timely file the opening brief or informal brief by the deadline may result in the dismissal of this appeal. NRAP 31(d).

When appellant failed to file the opening brief or informal brief, this court entered an order on August 1, 2025, noting that appellant's opening brief was overdue and directing appellant to file the opening brief or informal brief within 7 days. The order also cautioned appellant that failure to file the opening brief or informal brief may result in the dismissal of this appeal. NRAP 31(d). On August 7, 2025, appellant filed an opening brief. However, on the same date, this court entered an order striking the opening brief because it was deficient. The order directed appellant to correct the deficiency and re-file the opening brief with a proof of service that conformed with the rules within 14 days and cautioned that failure to comply would result in the dismissal of this appeal. On August 20, 2025, appellant re-filed the opening brief. The opening brief was still deficient and was stricken by order of this court entered on August 21, 2025. The order directed appellant to correct the deficiencies and re-file an opening brief that conformed with the rules by August 22, 2025, and again cautioned appellant that failure to comply would result in the dismissal of this appeal. When appellant failed to comply, this court entered an order on September 2, 2025, directing appellant to, within 7 days, file and serve an opening brief or informal brief. The order again cautioned appellant that failure to comply would result in the dismissal of this appeal. NRAP 31(d). To date, appellant has not filed an opening brief or informal brief and has not otherwise communicated with this court. Because it appears that appellant has abandoned this appeal, this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
