                                          Respondent.                       , APR 3 2021

                                                                                      UPREmE CouRT

                                                                                 OEN_ CLERK

                             ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF SANCTIONS
                                    AND DISMISSING APPEAL

                             On March 31, 2021, this court entered an order imposing
                 conditional sanctions on counsel for appellant, Michancy M. Cramer and
                 Alex B. Ghibaudo, for failing to timely file and serve the docketing
                 statement. This court directed counsel to pay the sum of $250 to the
                 Supreme Court Law Library and provide this court with proof of such
                 payment by April 14, 2021. However, the sanctions would be automatically
                 vacated if appellant's counsel filed and served the docketing statement
                 within the same time period. If the docketing statement was not timely
                 filed, the sanctions would no longer be conditional and must be paid. The
                 March 31, 2021, order also directed appellant to file and serve a transcript
                 request form in this court by April 14, 2021. This court cautioned counsel
                 that failure to comply with the order or any other filing deadlines could also
                 result in Ms. Cramer's and Mr. Ghibaudo's referral to the State Bar of
                 Nevada for investigation pursuant to SCR 104-10
                             On April 15, 2021, Ms. Cramer filed a notice of voluntarily
                 dismissal of this appeal. Therein, Ms. Cramer does not mention the overdue
                 documents or the conditional sanctions.

(0) 1947A AVM.
                                                                               2 - i 0
                                Because appellant's counsel did not timely file the docketing
                   statement, otherwise communicate with this court, or file the notice of
                   withdrawal of appeal before the deadline for filing the docketing statement
                   expired, the conditional sanctions are due. Counsel for appellant shall have
                   7 days from the date of this order to pay the surn of $250 to the Supreme
                   Court Law Library and provide this court with proof of such payment. This
                   court declines to refer counsel to the State Bar of Nevada at this time.
                   However, failure to comply with this order will result in the imposition of
                   additional sanctions that may include such a referral.
                                The notice of withdrawal of appeal is treated as a motion to
                   voluntarily dismiss this appeal and granted. NRAP 42. This appeal is
                   dismissed.
                                It is so ORDERED.
