In plain language
This is a one-paragraph administrative order closing out an appeal. Raquel Arellano had filed an appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court in a case involving Shawn Ramos, originating from the family division of the Washoe County District Court. Before the court considered the merits, Arellano asked the court to dismiss her own appeal, and the other side did not oppose that request. The Nevada Supreme Court granted the request and closed the case. No remittitur was issued, and the court did not rule on any underlying legal issue. For readers, this means the appellate court did not decide who was right or wrong in the dispute. It simply allowed the appealing party to withdraw the appeal, which is a routine procedural step parties may take when they no longer wish to pursue review.
