Ronald J. ROBINSON, Appellant, v. Steven A. HOTCHKISS, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This court previously ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. It appeared that the challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because several claims and possibly cross-claims remain pending in the district court. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment). In response, appellant's counsel indicates that this appeal contains “multiple jurisdictional defects” and states that he consents to the dismissal of the appeal. Accordingly, it appears that the challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1). As no other statute or court rule appears to allow 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”), it appears that this court lacks jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
