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.

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.
