ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment on motion for declaratory relief. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kathleen E. Delaney, Judge.
A preliminary review of documents before this court revealed a potential jurisdictional defect and this court issued an order directing appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Specifically, it appeared that claims remained pending in the district court, such that the order challenged on appeal does not constitute a final judgment. In response to the order to show cause, appellants argue that the district court order challenged on appeal, combined with other interlocutory orders, “implicitly” disposed of the remaining claims and counterclaims.
We disagree. Our review of the documents before this court indicates that appellants’ claims for common law fraud, conversion, and conspiracy,1 and their counterclaims against respondent Capfactor, LLC, have yet to be formally resolved in a written order. Thus, the challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1), as asserted by appellants. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment as “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”). “[T]he burden rests squarely upon the shoulders of a party seeking to invoke our jurisdiction to establish, to our satisfaction, that this court does in fact have jurisdiction.” Moran v. Bonneville Square Assocs., 117 Nev. 525, 527, 25 P.3d 898, 899 (2001). Appellants have failed to satisfactorily demonstrate our jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
