Pilar Enrique ARBALLO-OLIVAS, Individually, Appellant, v. Amy Marie AINSWORTH, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was docketed in this court on November 19, 2021. After the parties failed to reach a settlement, this court issued an order reinstating the deadlines for filing documents. Pursuant to that order, the transcript request form was due to be filed by February 22, 2022, and the opening brief and appendix were due to be filed by May 9, 2022. Appellant failed to timely file the documents. Accordingly, on July 6, 2022, this court entered an order directing appellant to file and serve either a transcript request form or certificate of no transcript request and the opening brief and appendix within 7 days. The order cautioned that failure to comply timely could result in dismissal of this appeal. To date, appellant has failed to file the documents or otherwise communicate with this court.
On July 28, 2022, respondent filed a motion to dismiss this appeal based on appellant's failure to file the missing documents. On that same date, the motion was served electronically upon appellant's counsel. Appellant has not responded to the motion to dismiss. This court concludes that appellant concedes the merit of respondent's motion. See Foster v. Dingwall, 126 Nev. 56, 66, 227 P.3d 1042, 1049 (2010) (stating that this court may construe the failure to oppose a motion as an admission that the motion is meritorious). Further, it appears that appellant has abandoned this appeal. Respondent's motion to dismiss is granted, and this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
