JOHN LUCKETT, Appellant, v. MERCURY INSURANCE COMPANY, INC, A NEVADA CORPORATION; CALIFORNIA AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANY, INC.; PHD INSURANCE BROKERAGE, INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION; THE STATE OF NEVADA; AND THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jacqueline M. Bluth, 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.” See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013).

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.”). And it does not appear that any other statute or court rule allows an appeal from the challenged orders. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and we
