Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

HARDWOOD FLOORING No. 75267 LIQUIDATORS, INC., A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, D/B/A REPUBLIC FLOORING, Appellant, vs. TIMOTHY NORTHWAY; AND JILL NORTH WAY, Respondents.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from a district court judgment on an arbitration award. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kerry Louise Earley, Judge. Having considered the parties' arguments and the record, we conclude that this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). Although the district court's October 17, 2017, Judgment on Arbitration Award is treated as a final judgment under NAR 19(B), that rule also provides that "[a] judgment entered pursuant to this rule . . . may not be appealed" unless "the district court entered a written interlocutory order disposing of a portion of the action." Because the district court in this case did not enter an interlocutory order disposing of a portion of the action, NAR 19(B) prohibits appellant from appealing the October

(01 I947A 2017 judgment.' As no other statute or court rule provides for an appeal from the October 2017 judgment, this court lacks jurisdiction and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
