December 15, 2015 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER: On October 7, 2015, the court granted counsel's motion to withdraw and reminded the appellant that she cannot proceed pro se because it appears that she is acting on behalf of the estate's beneficiaries.

When she failed to respond, the court the appellant to show cause by December 11, 2015, why the appeal should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The appellant again has failed to respond.
