ASHLAND CAPITAL, LLC, A NEVADA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY; AND JAMES SCOTT, Appellants, v. UTILITIES INCORPORATED OF CENTRAL NEVADA, A NEVADA CORPORATION, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order holding appellants in contempt and imposing sanctions. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Robert E. Rose, Judge.
On January 29, 2013, this court ordered appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, pointing out that no appeal ordinarily lies from an order holding a party in contempt. NRAP 3A(b); Pengilly v. Rancho Santa Fe Homeowners Ass'n, 116 Nev. 646, 649-50, 5 P.3d 569, 571 (2000). Our order cautioned appellants that failure to demonstrate jurisdiction could result in this court's dismissal of the appeal. To date, no response to our January 29 show cause order has been filed. Accordingly, as no appeal lies from an order holding a party in contempt, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
