In Re: Parental Rights as to K. W. ( 2015 )

 hearing and an opportunity to be heard. See In re Parental Rights as to
N.D.O., 121 Nev. 379, 382, 115 P.3d 223, 225 (2005); see also Gonzales-
Alpizar v. Griffith, 130 Nev., Adv. Op. 2, 317 P.3d 820, 827 (2014). We
conclude that the failure to notify appellant in the manner provided under
NRCP 5 of the November 21, 2013, continued hearing date was contrary to
NRS 128.090(4) and violated appellant's due process rights because she
was not present at the second day of the hearing, was representing
herself, and did not have an adequate opportunity to defend the action.
Accordingly, we reverse the district court's order and remand this matter
for further proceedings. We caution appellant, however, that provided she
receives adequate notice and opportunity to defend the action on remand,
her failure or refusal to appear at the hearing falls outside the ambit of
due process protections and will not be excused.
It is so ORDERED. 1
