Narrative Opinion Summary
In Case 81421, Horizon Holdings 2900, LLC appealed against the Shea at Horizon Ridge Owners Association, with the appeal heard by the Supreme Court of Nevada. The case, originating from the Clark County Eighth Judicial District, was consolidated with a related case under a single docket. After the notice of appeal was filed on July 6, 2020, the case entered a settlement program deemed suitable for mediation, with multiple conferences scheduled. Despite ongoing settlement discussions and several deadline extensions, a final settlement agreement was reported on March 2, 2021, although it required additional time for execution. Subsequently, procedural orders set deadlines for stipulations or motions to dismiss, which were extended until November 8, 2021. The appeals were consolidated and removed from the settlement program. Ultimately, the appellant failed to file necessary documents, specifically the transcript request and opening brief, leading to the dismissal of the appeals on May 5, 2022. The court issued a remittitur, thereby closing the case. The procedural history underscores the importance of adhering to appellate procedural requirements to avoid dismissal.
