Marlene ROGOFF, an Individual, Appellant, v. ROCKVIEW DAIRIES, INC., Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion for summary judgment and dismissing a complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rob Bare, Judge.
Respondent has filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Respondent asserts that the challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because its counterclaim remains pending. This court agrees. The challenged order is not a final judgment where respondent's counterclaim remains pending in the district court. 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.”). And no other statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged order. 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 to consider this appeal. Accordingly, the motion to dismiss is granted, and this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.1
