Appellant's motion is granted, and this appeal is dismissed. The parties shall bear their own fees and costs. NRAP 42(b). It is so ORDERED.

'The March 11, 2020, order, does not appear independently appealable, as it solely concerns contempt. See Vaile v. Vaile, 133 Nev. 213, 217, 396 P.3d 791, 794 (2017). In light of this order, appellant's motion to SUPREME COURT consolidate the two appeals is denied. OF NEVADA
