TIMOTHY FORREST, Appellant, v. THERESA WHITE-LARA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court interlocutory “order after hearing” resolving a motion for the sale of the marital residence in an action for divorce. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Amy Mastin, Judge.
Respondent has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction, pointing out that an interlocutory order disposing of a marital residence is not a final judgment and, therefore, not an appealable order. Appellant failed to file any opposition to respondent's motion to dismiss. Respondent is correct. Consolidated Generator Nev., Inc. v. Cummins Engine Co., 114 Nev. 1304, 971 P.2d 1251 (1998) (noting that interlocutory orders entered prior to final judgment generally may be heard on appeal from the final judgment).
Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from the aforementioned district court order, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. 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”). Accordingly, we grant the motion and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
