ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a proper person appeal from a district court qualified domestic relations order for child support. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; William S. Potter, Judge.

Our review of the documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the challenged order simply enforces previously entered child support orders. An order is a special order after final judgment only if it alters the rights of a party arising from the final judgment. Gumm v. Mainor, 118 Nev. 912, 59 P.3d 1220 (2002). Here, the order simply enforces the judgment; it alters no party's rights. Accordingly, as we lack jurisdiction, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
