COLLINS v. ALLEN COLLINS (2020)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Darren COLLINS, Appellant, v. Dorothy L. ALLEN-COLLINS, Respondent.

No. 80189

Decided: May 08, 2020

Darren Collins Dorothy L. Allen-Collins

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order directing appellant to obtain a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and denying his post-decree request for punitive damages. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rhonda Kay Forsberg, Judge.

This court’s review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the challenged district court order granted appellant the relief he requested. Appellant is not aggrieved by this order. See NRAP 3A(a); NRS 177.015 (only an aggrieved party may appeal). Further, no statute or court rule appears to allow an appeal from a district court order denying a post-decree request for punitive damages. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”). Accordingly, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
