Jones (Darryl) v. State

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

DARRYL L. JONES, No. 74032 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent. JAN 0 8 2018 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BYSQQL ORDER DISMISING APPEAL CLERK

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court; Douglas Smith, Judge. Appellant's counsel filed a motion to withdraw this appeal on the ground that appellant has died. We construed the motion as a notice of suggestion of death pursuant to NRAP 43, and on December 18, 2017, we entered an order directing appellant's counsel to substitute a personal representative, if any, or to inform this court in writing that appellant has no personal representative. See Walker v. Burkham, 68 Nev. 250, 256, 229 P.2d 158, 161-62 (1951). Counsel has responded and informs this court appellant has no personal representative. Because no personal representative of appellant has filed a motion for substitution in this appeal, see Brass v. State, 129 Nev. 527, 530, 306 P.3d 393, 395 (2013), we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
