Ronald Walter LAW, Appellant, v. ALLSTATE FIRE AND CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting in part a motion to dismiss. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Jerome M. Polaha, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The order appealed from is not a final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(l) because it does not resolve all of appellant's claims against respondent. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment). It also appears that appellant's claims against Olivia Sanabria and Arturo Sanabria remain pending in the district court.
As no other statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order granting a motion to dismiss in part, see Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”), this court concludes that it lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
