Jean Merkelbach appealed from proceedings in the Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County, case number 2008-DI-00094. After the matter was referred to a settlement program and the parties reported settlement, the appeal was removed from the program when the parties did not timely file a dismissal stipulation. The parties later stipulated to dismissal, and the Supreme Court of Nevada dismissed the appeal, ordering each party to bear their own costs and attorney fees.
