JOHN LUCKETT, Appellant, v. SOUTHERN NEVADA REGIONAL HOUSING AUTHORITY A/K/A ROBERT J. GORDON PLAZA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion to dismiss, denying a motion for contempt sanctions, and enforcing vexatious litigant status. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Timothy C. Williams, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The challenged order is not substantively appealable. In particular, the order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because appellant's claims against Fast Towing Inc. and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development remain pending in the district court. See Lee v. GNLV Gorp., 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 no other statute or court rule authorizes 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”); Pengilly v. Rancho Santa Fe Homeowners Ass’n, 116 Nev. 646, 649, 5 P.3d 569, 571 (2000) (“No rule or statute authorizes an appeal from an order of contempt.”). Accordingly, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
