Oscar G. MOLINA, Appellant, v. AMERICAN HOME MORTGAGE SERVICING, INC., Respondent.
Oscar G. Molina Pite Duncan LLP
Oscar G. Molina
Pite Duncan LLP
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Appellant seeks to challenge the district court's oral ruling denying a motion to dismiss. No appeal may be taken, however, 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. Additionally, as no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order denying a motion to dismiss, the challenged oral order is 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). Therefore, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
