Practitioner summary

The order is a clerk's order containing no substantive analysis, no standard of review discussion, and no merits ruling. The decision below remains undisturbed by any appellate ruling on the merits.

In plain language

This is a one-page clerk's order ending an appeal in a child custody case. The person who filed the appeal, Aboyepe Adekile, asked the Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss the appeal voluntarily - meaning he chose not to continue pursuing it. The court granted that request and closed the case. The order does not decide any custody issue, does not address the merits of the underlying dispute, and does not explain why the appellant chose to withdraw. It simply ends the appeal.
