JUST LLC v. FIRST 100 LLC LLC (2021)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Initial review of the docketing statement and documents before this court revealed a potential jurisdictional defect; it appeared that the challenged orders are not substantively appealable. Although appellants indicated in their docketing statement that the orders are appealable as special orders after final judgment, see NRAP 3A(b)(8), it appeared that no final judgment has been entered in this matter because the claims against Kregg Hale remain pending in the district court. In the absence of a final judgment, there can be no special order after final judgment. Accordingly, this court ordered appellants to show cause, by January 27, 2021, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. This court cautioned that failure to demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction could result in the dismissal of this appeal.

To date, appellants have not filed a response to our order to show cause or otherwise communicated with this court. As appellants fail to demonstrate that the claims against Hale have been resolved by the district court, and thus that a final judgment has been entered, it appears that the orders challenged in this appeal are not appealable as special orders after final judgment. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
