ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order granting respondents' petition for judicial review and denying appellants' petition for judicial review of a foreclosure mediation. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lidia Stiglich, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, appellants Edele Singer, Blair Mitchell, and Steven Guilford (collectively, homeowners), appeal the district court's order denying their petition for judicial review, granting respondent Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc.'s (SPS) petition for judicial review, and remanding the matter for additional mediation. The district court's order is not a final, appealable judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because it did not reach a final judgment on the outcome of the foreclosure, and it remanded the matter for additional mediation within the Foreclosure Mediation Program. See Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., v. O'Brien, 129 Nev. 679, 680-81, 310 P.3d 581, 582 (2013) ("[I]n the administrative context, a district court order remanding a matter to an administrative agency is not an appealable order, unless the order constitutes a final judgment on the merits and remands merely for collateral tasks, such as calculating benefits found due."). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
