Rudy HANNON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging an extradition. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; William A. Maddox, Judge.
On August 23, 2018, we entered an order denying appellant's motion to stay his extradition pending appeal because it appeared that he had already been extradited. We directed appellant, by September 7, 2018, to either (1) show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed as moot, or (2) file a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal. We cautioned that failure to comply with our order could result in the dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellant has not complied with our order otherwise communicated with this court. Nevertheless, in support of his motion for stay pending appeal, appellant stated that if he were extradited, his petition would become “instantly and irrevocably moot.” Accordingly, it appears that this appeal has been rendered moot by appellant's extradition, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
