Christopher DELORGE, Appellant, v. Lisa M. DELORGE, Respondent
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order entering judgment on alimony arrears. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Rena G. Hughes, Judge.
NRAP 3A(b)(8) permits an appeal from a special order after final judgment, which is an order that affects the rights of any party arising from the final judgment. Gumm v. Mainor, 118 Nev. 912, 59 P.3d 1220 (2002). Here, the challenged order enforces a prior alimony award and does not revise any rights or liabilities of the parties. Thus, the order is not appealable as a special order after final judgment. As no other statute or court rule appears to authorize this appeal, 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 lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
