ANTHONY BAILEY, Appellant, v. CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA; CLARK COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY; CLARK COUNTY LVMPD FORENSIC LAB; CLARK COUNTY METROLPOLITAN POLICE COMMITTEE ON FISCAL AFFAIRS; CLARK COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT.; CITY OF NORTH LAS VEGAS; CLARK COUNTY INDIGENT DEFENSE COUNSEL; AND THOMAS DILLARD, JR., Respondents.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS
These are two proper person appeals arising from the same underlying district court action. Our review of the documents before us on appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect as to both of these appeals. Specifically, it appears that the orders appellant seeks to challenge in these appeals are not substantively appealable as a final, appealable judgment has not been entered below. See NRAP 3A(b)(1) (providing for an appeal from a final judgment in an action or proceeding). In particular, appellant's claims against several parties remain pending below and the challenged orders dismissing various other parties from the underlying case have not been certified as final under NRCP 54(b). See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 996 P.2d 416 (2000) (stating that a final judgment is one that disposes of all issues presented in the case, and leaves nothing for the future consideration of the district court, except for post-judgment issues such as attorney fees and costs). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider these appeals, and we therefore order them dismissed. In light of our dismissal of these appeals, we deny as moot all requests for relief currently pending in these appeals.
It is so ORDERED.
