Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

RONALD J. ROBINSON, No. 81838 Appellant, vs. STEVEN A. HOTCHKISS, FILED Respondent. MAY 11 2021 A. BROWN

DY DEPUTY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court judgment regarding damages and attorney fees. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Cristina D. Silva, Judge. This court previously ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. It appeared that the challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because several claims and possibly cross-claims remain pending in the district court. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment). In response, appellant's counsel indicates that this appeal contains "multiple jurisdictional defecte and states that he consents to the dismissal of the appeal. Accordingly, it appears that the challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1). As no other statute or court rule appears to allow an appeal from the challenged order, see Brown v. NITIC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court "may only consider

4.0) 1947A OW. Zt-13 appeals authorized by statute or court rule"), it appears that this court lacks jurisdiction and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
