YEHIA MOSTAFA ABDEL HAKAM MARREEZ v. JACKIE BOIMAN (2025)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court decision denying appellant's post-judgment claim of exemption from execution of the judgment in the underlying tort action. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Veronica Barisich, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect.¹ Specifically, no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from a district court order denying an interlocutory order resolving a claim of exemption. 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”); cf. NRS 31.460 and Frank Settelmeyer & Sons, Inc. v. Smith & Harmer, Ltd., 124 Nev. 1206, 197 P.3d 1051 (2008) (providing for an appeal from a final judgment in a garnishment action). Moreover, no statute or court rule appears to allow for an appeal from an order that relates to the mere enforcement of a prior judgment. See Gumm v. Mainor, 118 Nev. 912, 59 P.3d 1220 (2002) (recognizing that a post-judgment order must affect rights growing out of the final judgment to be appealable as a special order after final judgment). This court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.²
