ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a proper person appeal from a district court order denying a new trial and awarding attorney fees and costs. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jennifer P. Togliatti, Judge.
We direct the clerk of this court to file the proper person letter received in this court on April 18, 2012.
Our review of the documents transmitted to this court under NRAP 3 has revealed a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the district court has not entered any final judgment upon the jury verdict or any order otherwise finally resolving this case. Accordingly, the appealed order is not substantively appealable as a post-judgment order denying a new trial or as a special order after final judgment, NRAP 3A(b)(2) and (8) ; Reno Hilton Resort Corp. v. Verderber, 121 Nev. 1, 2–3, 106 P.3d 134, 135 (2005), and no other statute or court rule provides for an appeal from such an order. See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may be taken); see also Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207, 209, 678 P.2d 1152, 1153 (1984) (noting that this court generally has authority to consider an appeal only when authorized by statute or court rule). As we therefore lack jurisdiction, we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
