ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order dismissing a complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Richard Scotti, Judge.
This appeal was docketed on January 12, 2018, and a receipt for documents issued. The receipt addressed to appellant at High Desert State Prison was returned by the postal service. A notation on the envelope indicated that appellant was paroled and a sticker on the envelope stated “return to sender” and “unable to forward.” An order entered on March 7, 2018, a notice issued on March 7, 2017, and an order entered on April 24, 2018, all addressed, to appellant at High Desert State Prison, were also returned. The envelopes containing those documents contained a notation indicating that appellant is not an inmate at High Desert State Prison. The Nevada Department of Corrections website represents that appellant has been paroled. Appellant has not provided this court with updated contact information or otherwise communicated with this court. Further, appellant has not filed the opening brief, which was due to be filed by July 7, 2018. Under these circumstances, we conclude that this appeal has been abandoned, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED without prejudice.
