ROBERT RYAN, No. 72366 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA DIVISION OF INSURANCE, Respondent. jUN TASETH ORDER Cr 15110171 On May 5, 2017, we entered an order canditionally imposing sanctions on counsel for appellant, Kurt R. Bonds and Adam R. Knecht, due to their failure to file the case appeal statement and transcript request form in this court as required by this court's rules and as directed in a notice and an order. The sanctions would be automatically vacated if counsel filed the documents by May 16, 2017.

On May 23, 2017, counsel filed a notice of withdrawal of appeal and a "Petition for Rehearing" in which they request reconsideration of our sanction order. Counsel state that their firm is in the process of relocating offices which has created difficulties with circulating papers served upon the firm. Consequently, this court's May 5 order was not discovered by Mr. Knecht until May 22, 2017. Counsel explain that they filed the case appeal statement in the district court but erroneously failed to file it in this court. They also represent that they submitted a transcript request form to the responsible court reporter and the transcript was prepared, but counsel failed to file the form in this court. Counsel state that these errors were promptly addressed upon discovery.

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (0) 1947A (44ro Counsel submitted the case appeal statement and transcript request form to this court on May 23, 2017. However, the documents were rejected because they were untimely and not accompanied by a motion for an extension of time. Nevertheless, given counsels' response to our order and appellant's desire to dismiss this appeal, we vacate the sanctions imposed in our May 5, 2017, order.' Pursuant to the notice of withdrawal of appeal, this appeal is dismissed.

It is so ORDERED.
