BRANDI ABTS, AN INDIVIDUAL, Appellant, v. CYNTHIA ARNOLD-ABTS, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order dismissing a complaint in part and allowing the amendment of the complaint. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Ronald J. Israel, Judge.
Our review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The order challenged on appeal is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because it does not resolve appellant's defamation claims. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment "as 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"). And no other statute or court rule allows an appeal from an order dismissing a complaint in part. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) ("[W]e may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule"). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
