Narrative Opinion Summary
In the case of Baker vs. State, a criminal appeal was lodged in the Supreme Court of Nevada, originating from the First Judicial District in Carson City. The appellant, Byron Michael Baker, was represented by State Public Defenders, while the respondent, the State of Nevada, was represented by the Attorney General and District Attorneys. Initially filed as a fast track appeal, the case involved several procedural steps, including filing notices of appeal, requests for transcripts, and submission of the appellant's fast track brief. The court allowed extensions for the respondent's response. However, on May 24, 2022, the appellant filed a notice of withdrawal of the appeal, which resulted in the court issuing an order on May 26, 2022, dismissing the appeal by mutual consent. Consequently, the case was officially closed without the issuance of a remittitur. This outcome reflects the appellant's voluntary decision to withdraw, effectively ending the appellate process.
