NICOLAS REEDY, Appellant, v. MATTHEW SOSA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court's amended findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment, and order awarding attorney fees. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Gloria Sturman, Judge.
Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. The district court's findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment entered on June 11, 2023, is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) as it does not resolve all claims in the action. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (holding that “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”). Additionally, the order awarding attorney fees and costs is not appealable as a special order after final judgment because no final judgment has been entered. See NRAP 3A(b)(8); Lincicome v. Sables, No. 84328, 2022 WL 2399257 (Nev., July 1, 2022) (Order Dismissing Appeal) (“In the absence of a final judgment, the order awarding attorney fees and costs is not appealable as a special order after final judgment.”).
Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.1

FOOTNOTES
1. Appellant filed a stipulated motion for limited remand on August 29, 2023, where the parties conceded that the district court's judgment was not final. Because we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, this court takes no action on the stipulated motion for a limited remand.
