AKILAH CORNISH, Appellant, v. ALAN CHRISTOPHER GUADAGNOLI-ALISPACH, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying appellant's motion to modify child custody and denying appellant's request to modify child support. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Adriana R. White, Judge.
Review of the district court docket entries and the documents before this court, however, indicates that the district court's order did not resolve respondent's countermotion to modify child custody, which remains pending and appears set for an evidentiary hearing on September 2, 2025. Therefore, the issue of child custody has not been finally resolved below. See NRAP 3A(b)(7) (providing for an appeal from a final district court order pertaining to child custody and stating that “[a]n order will be deemed final when all pending issues of child custody ․ are resolved.”). No other statute or court rule appears to permit an appeal from this order. 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, this court lacks jurisdiction and
