                                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
                            This is a pro se appeal from an order dismissing Verise
                Campbell, Deputy Director of the Foreclosure Mediation Program as a
                defendant from the proceedings below. Eighth Judicial District Court,
                Clark County; Kathleen E. Delaney, Judge.
                            Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant
                to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that
                the district court has not entered a final written judgment adjudicating all
                the rights and liabilities of all the parties, and the district court did not
                certify its order/judgment as final pursuant to NRCP 54(b).        Lee v. GNLV
                Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 996 P.2d 416 (2000); KDI Sylvan Pools v. Workman,
                107 Nev. 340, 810 P.2d 1217 (1991); Rae v. All American Life & Cas. Co.,
                95 Nev. 920, 605 P.2d 196 (1979). Appellant's claims against the following
                parties appear to remain below: U.S. Bank National Association as
                Trustee for the Certificate Holders of LXS 2006-16N Trust Fund (also

                                                                                      1(0-13282.
                known as Trustee on Behalf of the LXS 2006-16N Trust Fund), and
                Nationstar Mortgage, LLC. The order does not appear to be amenable to
                NRCP 54(b) certification because it appears that the claims asserted in the
                action are so closely related that this court must necessarily decide
                important issues pending below in order to decide the issues appealed.
                MaIlin v. Farmers Insurance Exchange, 106 Nev. 606, 797 P.2d 978 (1990);
                Hallicrafters Co. v. Moore, 102 Nev. 526, 728 P.2d 441 (1986). Reviewing
                the matter at this stage of the proceedings could result in piecemeal
                litigation, defeating the purpose of NRCP 54(b). Accordingly, we conclude
                that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
                            ORDER this appeal DISMISSED
