Darryl L. JONES, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court; Douglas Smith, Judge.
Appellant's counsel filed a motion to withdraw this appeal on the ground that appellant has died. We construed the motion as a notice of suggestion of death pursuant to NRAP 43, and on December 18, 2017, we entered an order directing appellant's counsel to substitute a personal representative, if any, or to inform this court in writing that appellant has no personal representative. See Walker v. Burkham, 68 Nev. 250, 256, 229 P.2d 158, 161–62 (1951). Counsel has responded and informs this court appellant has no personal representative. Because no personal representative of appellant has filed a motion for substitution in this appeal, see Brass v. State, 129 Nev. 527, 530, 306 P.3d 393, 395 (2013), we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
