ZONE v. FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE LLC (2020)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion for summary judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Adriana Escobar, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal, docketing statement, and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. It does not appear that the district court has entered a final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(1). See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment). The challenged order grants summary judgment only in favor of respondent Fremont Street Experience, LLC. And, although a minute order issued on February 20, 2020, appears to resolve appellant's claims against respondent City of Las Vegas, it appears that the district court has not entered a final written judgment disposing of the claims. See State, Div. of Child & Family Serv. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 451-54, 92 P.3d 1239, 1243-45 (2004) (“[D]ispositional court orders that are not administrative in nature, but deal with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying controversy, must be written, signed, and filed before they become effective.”); Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (stating that the district court's minute order is ineffective and cannot be appealed). As no other statute or court rule allows 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 and
