JAMES HICKEY, Appellant, v. DAVID ALESSI, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS PARENT AND/OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF K. A. AND K. A., Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an order granting a motion to enforce a settlement agreement. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Anna C. Albertson, Judge.
Review of the notices of appeal and documents before this court reveals jurisdictional defects. 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). It does not appear that any statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged orders.
The November 1, 2025, order granting a motion to enforce settlement does not resolve any claims and is not a final judgment. See Brown, 129 Nev. at 346, 301 P.3d at 852 (explaining 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, we lack jurisdiction and
