MATTHEW KLINE KADER v. MARIANNA KADER (2023)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an interlocutory district court order entered in a divorce matter. Among other things, the order imposes a monetary sanction against appellant and denies his request for full custody of the parties’ minor children. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Nadin Cutter, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(l) because it does not dispose of all issues in the underlying case where the complaint for divorce and associated custody issues remain pending. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (“[A] final judgment is one that disposes of all the issues presented in the case, and leaves nothing for the future consideration of the court, except for post-judgment issues such as attorney's fees and costs”). The order is also not appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(7) because it does not finally establish or modify custody of the minor children. And no other statute or court rule appears to permit an appeal from the aforementioned order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
