CLAUDIA VERDIN, AN INDIVIDUAL; DAVID RODRIGUEZ-ROJAS, AN INDIVIDUAL, D/B/A VLC PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, Appellants, v. CLARK COUNTY, A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion for summary judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. It does not appear the challenged order is appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(l). Although the order grants respondent summary judgment on all of its counterclaims, the order does not make any award of damages to respondent on those counterclaims. 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.”). And it does not appear that any other statute or court rule allows an appeal from the challenged 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
