Why no pas?
This question relates to:French lesson "Ni l'un(e) ni l'autre ne ... = Neither (one nor the other) (French Negations)"

Bonjour David,
When using this structure, you always drop the "pas" as the negation is already expressed/implied with "ni ... ni ...".
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
