BRYAN PHILLIP BONHAM, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA; OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE; BARBARA K. CEGAVSKE; THE ELEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF PERSHING; AND JIM C. SHIRLEY, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion to dismiss and denying a countermotion for summary judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Gloria Sturman, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule.” Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). It does not appear the challenged order is appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(l) because the district court has not yet entered a written order resolving appellant's claims against other defendants. 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.”). It also appears that no other statue or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged order. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
