FELTON L. MATTHEWS, JR., Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; CCWII TRAVIS; WARDEN RENEE BAKER; ASS. DIRECTOR SHERYL FOSTER; A.W.G. BURNHAM; JUDGE GARY D. FAIRMAN; WHITE PINE COUNTY CLERK; WHITE PINE COUNTY COURT ADMIN.; JAMES G. COX; AND NDOC UNKNOWNS A-G, Respondents.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a motion to dismiss. Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Steve L. Dobrescu, Judge.

The challenged order only resolves the claims asserted against defendant Vickie Johnson. As appellant acknowledges in his docketing statement, it appears that claims against other defendants remain pending in the district court. Accordingly, the order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1). See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) (defining a final judgment as one that resolves all issues presented in a case, leaving nothing for the court's future consideration). As no other statute or court rule appears to permit an appeal from the challenged order, see Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court lacks jurisdiction where no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal), we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.

Given this order we take no action on the notice of appearance filed on November 9, 2018.
