Decided: June 22, 2021

ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS IN DOCKET NOS. 82094 AND 82234, AND DISAPPROVING STIPULATION

Docket Nos. 82094 and 82234 are appeals from interlocutory orders awarding attorney fees and costs. Docket No. 82294 is an appeal from a final judgment. In response to this court's order to show cause issued in Docket No. 82234, the parties have filed a stipulation to consolidate the appeals. In the stipulation, the parties appear to concede that the orders challenged in Docket Nos. 82094 and 82234 are interlocutory, and that they may be challenged in the context of Docket No. 82294 on appeal from the final judgment. See Consol. Generator-Nev., Inc. v. Cummins Engine Co., 114 Nev. 1304, 1312, 971 P.2d 1251, 1256 (1998). As this court lacks jurisdiction over the appeals in Docket Nos. 82094 and 82234, they are dismissed. The parties shall proceed in Docket No. 82294. The stipulation to consolidate is disapproved as moot.

The opening brief and appendix in Docket No. 82294 remain due to be filed by June 28, 2021. Thereafter, briefing shall proceed in accordance with NRAP 31(a)(1).

It is so ORDERED.
