HOLMES v. MILLER (2021)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Review of the notice of appeal and documents submitted to this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The district court's oral pronouncement and minute order cannot be appealed. State, Div. of Child and Family Serv's v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.3d 1239, 1245 (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”). It does not appear that the district court has entered any written order memorializing its decision. Further, appellant is not aggrieved by an order declining to impose sanctions on him and it does not appear that an order admonishing appellant is substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(a) (allowing an appeal by an aggrieved party); 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”). Accordingly, this court concludes that it lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
