ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a decree of divorce. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Rena G. Hughes, Judge.
On September 10, 2018, we entered an order directing appellant to file and serve a fast track statement by October 22, 2018.1 We cautioned that failure to file the fast track statement by the deadline could result in the dismissal of this appeal.
Appellant did not file the fast track statement or otherwise communicate with this court. Accordingly, on November 9, 2018, we entered an order directing appellant to file and serve the fast track statement by November 20, 2018.2 We again cautioned that failure to comply could result in the dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellant has failed to file the fast track statement. Although appellant called the clerk of this court on November 30, 2018, and indicated that she would be filing a motion for an extension of time, she has not filed such a motion. Accordingly, it appears that appellant has abandoned this appeal and we
