SAHIL SINGH, Appellant. v. STEFAN GRAFSTEIN, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Nadia Krall, Judge.
When initial review of the docketing statement and documents before this court revealed a potential jurisdictional defect, this court ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In particular, it did not appear that the district court had entered a final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(l) because claims against appellant remained pending. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (explaining 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 cost”). And it did not appear that any other statute or court rule permits an appeal from the challenged order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (explaining that this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”).
In response, appellant states his belief that the district court order is not final because claims remain pending. If this court agrees, appellant does not object to the dismissal of this appeal.
Appellant does not demonstrate that a final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(l) has been entered in the district court and does not argue that the challenged order is otherwise appealable. See Moran v. Bonneville Square Assocs., 117 Nev. 525, 527, 25 P.3d 898, 899 (2001) (“[T]he burden rests squarely upon the shoulders of a party seeking to invoke our jurisdiction to establish, to our satisfaction, that this court does in fact have jurisdiction.”). Accordingly, it appears this court lacks jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
