IN RE: the GUARDIANSHIP OF Patricia STRONG, an Adult Ward. Patricia Strong, Appellant, v. Randall Strong; and Diane Lynnae Maestas, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a decision and order entered in a guardianship proceeding. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; William S. Potter, Judge.
When we granted appellant's motion for a second extension of time, we directed appellant to file and serve the opening brief and appendix by October 10, 2018. We cautioned that failure to comply could result in the imposition of sanctions. NRAP 31(d). To date, appellant has failed to file these documents or otherwise communicate with this court. Respondents have also filed a motion to dismiss this appeal based on appellant's failure to file the opening brief and an email sent to respondent's counsel by appellant's counsel stating that appellant's counsel is “unable to complete the Appeal process.”
We conclude that appellant's failure to file the opening brief and appendix or otherwise communicate with this court warrants the dismissal of this appeal. Accordingly, we grant the motion and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.1
FOOTNOTES
1. We decline respondents' request to impose sanctions against counsel for appellant.
