ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court summary judgment in a personal injury action. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elissa F. Cadish, Judge.
On March 7, 2011, this court entered an order allowing appellants' counsel to withdraw and giving appellants 40 days to retain new counsel and cause new counsel to file a notice of appearance with this court. In the order, we cautioned appellants that failure to retain counsel would result in the dismissal of this appeal. State v. Stu's Bail Bonds, 115 Nev. 436, 436 n.1, 991 P .2d 469, 470 n.1 (1999) (noting that “business entities are not permitted to appear, or file documents, in proper person”); Sunde v. Contel of California, 112 Nev. 541, 542–43, 915 P.2d 298, 299 (1996) (explaining that nonlawyers may not represent entities in court); Salman v. Newell, 110 Nev. 1333, 1336, 885 P.2d 607, 608 (1994) (observing that no statute or rule permits a nonlawyer to represent an entity and concluding that an entity cannot proceed in proper person).
To date, appellants have not responded to the March 7 order. Respondent now moves to dismiss this appeal. Appellants have not filed any opposition to respondent's motion to dismiss. Accordingly, as appellants have failed to pursue this appeal, we grant the motion and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
