ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order setting aside a default and awarding fees and costs as a sanction for causing the default. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kenneth C. Cory, Judge.
On June 27, 2017, this court entered an order directing appellant Raymond K. Ngan, within 11 days, to either retain new counsel and cause counsel to file a notice of appearance in this court, or to inform this court that he wishes to proceed in pro se. We directed appellants Ngan Ventures Limited and Pi Global Holdings, LLC, within 11 days, to retain counsel and cause counsel to file a notice of appearance in this court. See 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"); Salman v. Newell, 110 Nev. 1333, 1336, 885 P.2d 607, 608 (1994) (observing that no statute or rule permits a non-lawyer to represent an entity and concluding that an entity cannot proceed in proper person); Sunde v. Contel of California, 112 Nev. 541, 542-43, 915 P.2d 298, 299 (1996) (explaining that non-lawyers may not represent entities in court).
We cautioned appellants that failure to comply with our order could result in this appeal being dismissed. To date, appellants have failed to respond to our order or otherwise communicate with this court; accordingly, we conclude that appellants have abandoned this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
