AHMED ELNENAEY, Appellant, v. MERVAT O. ELNENAEY, N/K/A MERVAT OSMAN, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal of several district court orders resolving a divorce. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr., Judge. Appellant is proceeding in pro se pursuant to this court's pilot program for civil litigants proceeding without counsel.
Our preliminary review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that appellant is not an aggrieved party with standing to appeal. See NRAP 3A(a); Valley Bank of Nev. v. Ginsburg, 110 Nev. 440, 874 P.2d 729 (1994). Appellant claims to be a "proposed intervenor," and no district court order grants him leave to intervene. To be a party, one must have been served with process or made an appearance and be named as a party of record. Ginsburg, 110 Nev. 448, 874 P.2d 735; Rae v. All American Life & Cas. Co., 95 Nev. 920, 922-23, 605 P.2d 196, 197 (1979) (must be served). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal and we
No district court order denies appellant leave to intervene, and an order denying a motion to intervene is not appealable. Aetna Life & Cas. Ins. v. Rowan, 107 Nev. 362, 812 P.2d 350 (1991). --------
