STEPHEN SMITH AN INDIVIDUAL v. INTERNET SPORTS INTERNATIONAL LTD FOREIGN CORPORATION AND IGT NEVADA CORPORATION (2025)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order denying a motion for relief under NRCP 60(b) and from an order granting a motion to withdraw admissions and a motion for sanctions, and denying a motion for certification pursuant to NRCP 54(b). Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Veronica Barisich, Judge.

Respondent Internet Sports International, Ltd. (ISI) moves to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. ISI contends the appeal is not from a final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(1) and no certification of finality under NRCP 54(b) has been obtained. We agree.

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). NRAP 3A(b)(1) authorizes an appeal from a final judgment. As pointed out by ISI, “ ․ 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.” Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (emphasis added). ISI asserts, appellant concedes, and the documents before this court indicate, that ISI's counterclaims remain pending in the district court. Although all of appellant's claims have been resolved, not all issues before the district court have been resolved; the pending counterclaims remain for the district court's future consideration. Therefore, no final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(l) has been entered in the district court. The order dismissing appellant's claims has not been certified as a final judgment pursuant to NRCP 54(b), and no other statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged orders. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
