IN THE MATTER OF THE PARENTAL RIGHTS AS TO: B.D.-N.F., RACHEL D.-N.A., Appellant, v. CLARK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY SERVICES, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
On December 17, 2013, this court granted appellant's motion for an extension of time to file the opening brief and appendix. Appellant timely filed the opening brief but failed to file the appendix, and on March 13, 2014, this court entered an order directing appellant to file the appendix within 11 days. Appellant failed to comply with that order. On April 1, 2014, this court issued a notice directing appellant to file the appendix within 15 days and warning appellant that a failure to file the appendix may result in the dismissal of this appeal. Appellant failed to comply with that notice.
To date, appellant has not filed the appendix. See NRAP 30(e) (providing that either a joint appendix or appellant's appendix must be filed and served no later than the date the appellant's opening brief is filed). Because appellant has failed to timely file the appendix, despite this court's extensions of time and clear directives to do so, we dismiss this appeal. See NRAP 31(d) (providing that a failure to file an appendix may be grounds to dismiss the appeal); see also Varnum v. Grady, 90 Nev. 374, 376-77, 528 P.2d 1027, 1028-29 (1974) (dismissing appeal for failure to timely file record on appeal).
It is so ORDERED.
