UNPUBLISHED OPINION
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order granting respondents' motion to dismiss, for lack of personal jurisdiction, an action alleging breach of contract and related claims. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mark R. Denton, Judge.
When our initial review of the notice of appeal and docketing statement revealed a potential jurisdictional defect, this court ordered appellants to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In particular, the show cause order explained, it appeared that the district court had not yet entered a final judgment appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because appellants' claims against Brand Canna Growth Partners, Inc. remained pending. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996, P.2d 416, 417 (2000) ("[A] final judgment is one that disposes of all the issues presented in the case, and leaves nothing for the future consideration of the court, except for post-judgment issues such as attorney's fees and costs.")' Appellants timely filed a response, and respondents timely filed a reply.
After considering the parties' arguments, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal. As appellants recognize, their claims against Brand Canna remain pending, and the district court has not certified its order dismissing respondents from the action as final under NRCP 54(b). Consequently, no final judgment has been entered from which appellants can appeal. Since no final judgment exists and appellants have not otherwise demonstrated that the dismissal order is independently appealable, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
