ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from an order granting a motion to confirm an arbitration award. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.

On November 7, 2025, this court granted appellants’ counsel's motion to withdraw as counsel of record, suspended briefing, and directed appellant SJC Ventures Holding Company, LLC (SJC), within 30 days, to retain counsel and cause counsel to enter an appearance in this court. See NRAP 46A(b)(2) (“A corporation or other entity may not appear pro se.”). Appellant Jay Bloom was also directed to retain new counsel and cause new counsel to file a notice of appearance with this court or to inform this court, in writing, that he will not be retaining counsel and will be proceeding pro se. The order cautioned appellants that failure to respond could result in the dismissal of this appeal. Appellants failed to respond to this order.

On January 6, 2026, this court issued a second order directing SJC to, within 14 days, retain counsel and cause counsel to enter an appearance and directing Mr. Bloom to retain new counsel and cause new counsel to file a notice of appearance with this court, or to inform this court, in writing, that he will not be retaining counsel and will be proceeding pro se. The order again cautioned appellants that failure to timely comply may result in the dismissal of this appeal.

On February 3, 2026, this court granted appellants’ motion to extend time to retain new counsel and/or provide notice of proceeding pro se. The order directed appellant SJC to retain counsel and cause counsel to enter an appearance in this court by February 20, 2026, and directed Mr. Bloom to, within the same time period, retain new counsel and cause new counsel to file a notice of appearance with this court, or inform this court, in writing, that he will not be retaining counsel and will be proceeding pro se. The order again cautioned appellants that failure to timely comply may result in the dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellants have failed to comply or otherwise communicate with this court.

Accordingly, this court concludes that appellants have abandoned this appeal and
