MONA v. FAR WEST INDUSTRIES (2018)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from an order sustaining respondent's objection to a claim of exemption to an order determining the priority of garnishments and denying appellant's motion to discharge the garnishment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joseph Hardy, Jr., Judge.

Respondent has moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant opposes the motion, and respondent has filed a reply. We agree with respondent that our holding in Settelmeyer & Sons v. Smith & Harmer, 124 Nev. 1206, 197 P.3d 1051 (2008) provides for an appeal from a final judgment in a garnishment action (see also NRS 31.460), but not from interlocutory orders that merely set the priorities or resolve a claim of exemption, such as those at issue in this appeal. It appears the district court has not yet entered a final appealable judgment; accordingly, we grant respondent's motion and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.¹
