ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a proper person appeal from a district court oral ruling to set aside a default. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rob Bare, Judge.

No appeal may be taken 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. Moreover, even if a written order had been entered, no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order setting aside a default, and thus, the challenged 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). Accordingly, as we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
