GERGIS GHOBRIAL v. ADRIAN ERIC RAMOS (2025)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying an emergency motion to compel deposition testimony and for monetary sanctions. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tina Talim, Judge.

The underlying district court action began with the filing of a request for foreign deposition subpoena, apparently pursuant to NRCP 45. A foreign deposition subpoena directing respondent to appear and give testimony was subsequently issued and respondent was deposed in September 2024. The challenged order, entered in March 2025, denies appellant's motion to compel respondent's appearance for further deposition testimony and to sanction respondent and certain counsel. It does not appear this order is substantively appealable.

This court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule.” Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). Appellant asserts the challenged order is appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1). But the order does not finally resolve the issue in the initiating pleading—the request for a foreign deposition subpoena. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment). And no other statute or court rule appears to authorize this appeal. Accordingly, it appears we lack jurisdiction and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
