In plain language
This is a brief procedural order from the Nevada Supreme Court ending an appeal in a child custody case. The person who filed the appeal, Jerrett Jamil Thompson, asked the court on his own (without a lawyer) to drop the appeal. The other side, Stacy Lea Thompson, did not oppose the request. The Supreme Court granted the request and dismissed the appeal. The order does not decide any legal issue about child custody. It simply closes out the appeal because the appealing party chose not to pursue it further.
