MANOUCHER DEZFOOLI MANOUCHER DEZFOOLO AN INDIVIDUAL v. THE EHH VENTURE LLC NEVADA LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Manoucher Dezfooli appeals from a district court order concerning the release of a bail bond. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joanna Kishner, Judge.

On appeal, Dezfooli challenges the district court's decision to deny his request to release to him the bond he posted in his son's contempt matter and also challenges the court's decision to set his son's bail at $10,000 in the contempt proceeding.

However, our review of this matter reveals a jurisdictional defect. Orders denying motions to remit bail bonds and other orders entered in an ancillary bail bond proceeding are not substantively appealable, and therefore this court lacks jurisdiction over appeals from such orders. Int'l Fid. Ins. Co. v. State, 122 Nev. 39, 43, 126 P.3d 1133, 1135 (2006). To the extent Dezfooli challenges the contempt order, “this court does not have jurisdiction over an appeal from a contempt order.” Pengilly v. Rancho Santa. Fe Homeowners Ass'n, 116 Nev. 646, 649, 5 P.3d 569, 571 (2000). Rather, the proper vehicle for challenging an order entered in an ancillary bail bond proceeding or to challenge a contempt order is through an original writ petition. Int'l Fid. Ins. Co., 122 Nev. at 43, 126 P.3d at 1135; Pengilly, 116 Nev. at 649-50, 5 P.3d at 571-72. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.¹
