ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion to dismiss. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Nancy L. Allf, Judge. Initial review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. It appears that the challenged order is not a final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(1). “[A] final judgment is one that disposes of all the issues presented in the case, and leaves nothing for the future consideration of the court, except for post-judgment issues such as attorney's fees and costs.” Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000). The challenged order grants a motion to dismiss filed by two defendants and does not appear to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. It also appears that appellant's claims against the other defendants remain pending in the district court. And it does not appear that any other statute or court rule allows 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”). Accordingly, as it appears that this court lacks jurisdiction, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
