PARNELL COLVIN, AN INDIVIDUAL, Appellant, v. MITCHELL R. STOKER; NATHAN VIDRINE; EDWARD WHITNEY; LOURDES R.; TURNKEY PROPERTY SOLUTIONS; PAGE RANCH COURT TRUST; SATICOY BAY LLC; AND THE MAINTENANCE COMPANY, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal of an “order to enforce settlement agreement, dismiss lawsuit and give time for plaintiff to amend complaint.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jessica K. Peterson, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the challenged district court order is not appealable as a final judgment because it does not finally resolve all issues as it gives appellant the opportunity to amend his complaint “to address his claims regarding the storage of his personal property by the Landlord.” See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (“[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.”); Bergenfield v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, 131 Nev. 683, 685, 354 P.3d 1282, 1284 (2015) (holding that “a district court order dismissing a complaint with leave to amend is not final and appealable”). No other statute or court rule appears to allow an appeal from the challenged order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345-47, 301 P.3d 850, 851-52 (2013) (explaining that this court may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule, and that an order granting a motion to enforce a disputed settlement agreement is not a final appealable judgment where it does not enter judgment in favor of any party or otherwise resolve the pending claims); Valley Bank of Nev. v. Ginsburg, 110 Nev. 440, 446, 874 P.2d 729, 733-34 (1994) (concluding that a district court order approving a settlement agreement was not final and appealable where the order did not dismiss or otherwise resolve the parties’ claims). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
