Heying-Stampfli v. Royle

Opinion

Although appellant's counsel has not appealed from the district court's order, he asks that we overrule our longstanding precedent holding that a party's counsel is not a party with standing to appeal. Office of Washoe Cnty. Dist. Attorney. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 116

Nev. 629, 635, 5 P.3d 562, 566 (2000) (concluding that district attorney was not a party to order imposing NRCP 11 sanctions against him); Albert D. Massi, Ltd. v. Bellmyre, 111 Nev. 1520, 1520, 908 P.2d 705, 706 (1995); A. W. Albany v. Arcata Associates, Inc., 106 Nev. 688, 799 P.2d 566 (1990). We decline to do so. Appellant's counsel's remedy is in the form of an original writ petition challenging the district court's order. See Office of

Washoe Cnty. Dist. Attny., 116 Nev. at 635, 5 P.3d at 566. Accordingly, as we lack jurisdiction, we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
