ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Appellant seeks to challenge a district court oral ruling to transfer appellant's case to justice court. As no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged order, it is therefore not substantively appealable. 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). Additionally, no appeal may be taken from a district court's oral ruling. Rust v. Clark Cty. School District, 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987). Only a final, written judgment has any effect, and thus, only a written judgment may be appealed. Id. As we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, we
The Honorable Robert E. Rose and the Honorable Miriam Shearing, Senior Justices, participated in the decision of this matter under general orders of assignment.
