Key holdings
Practitioner summary
The court granted appellant's motion for voluntary dismissal under NRAP 42(b) and dismissed the appeal. The order contains no substantive analysis, no statement of facts, no procedural history beyond the motion, and no discussion of the merits of the underlying district court ruling. No standard of review was applied because the disposition rests solely on the appellant's voluntary withdrawal.
In plain language
This is a one-page administrative order from the Nevada Supreme Court closing out an appeal. Richard Dee had appealed something in a family-law case involving Sara Powers (formerly Sara Dee), but he then asked the court to dismiss his own appeal. The court agreed and ended the appeal. The order does not explain what the underlying family-law dispute was about, what the lower court decided, or why the appellant chose to walk away from the appeal. It simply records that the appellant asked to drop the case and that the court allowed him to do so under the appellate rule that permits voluntary dismissals.
