LLONTOP VS. LLONTOP (FAMILY)

Key holdings

Practitioner summary

This is a clerk's order dismissing an appeal by stipulation of the parties under NRAP 27(c)(3). The order contains no substantive analysis, standard of review, or doctrinal discussion, because the dismissal rests solely on the parties' agreement rather than a merits determination. The court dismissed the appeal and directed that each party bear their own attorney fees and costs. The matter arose from proceedings before the Honorable Vincent Ochoa, District Judge, but the order does not describe the underlying district-court ruling or the issues presented on appeal.

In plain language

This is a very short order in a family-law case. Two people, Pablo Llontop and Maria Llontop, were involved in an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court. Pablo was the appellant (the person who brought the appeal), and Maria was the respondent (the person responding to it). Rather than have the court decide the appeal, the two sides reached an agreement - called a stipulation - to end the appeal. Based on that agreement, the court dismissed the appeal. The court also ordered that each side would pay its own attorney fees and costs. The order does not describe the underlying dispute, the lower-court ruling that was being appealed, or any legal issues. It simply records that the appeal ended by agreement of the parties.
