Amber JOHNSON n/k/a Amber Johnson-Parker, Appellant, v. Christopher M. HORODESKY, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule.” Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). The January 30, 2023, order is not a final judgment as suggested by appellant. A final judgment resolving the complaint in this matter was previously entered. There can be only one final judgment in an action or proceeding. Alper v. Posin, 77 Nev. 328, 331, 363 P.2d 502, 503 (1961), overruled on other grounds by Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 996 P.2d 416 (2000). And no other statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from either of the orders challenged in this appeal. Accordingly, this court lack jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
