                                          ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                                 This is a pro se appeal from a district court order, entered in
                    consolidated cases, deconsolidating the cases, statistically closing case A-
                    20-813635-C, and directing that all future documents be filed in case A-21-
                    838187-C. Review of the notice of appeal and other documents before this
                    court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The challenged order is not
                    substantively appealable. Specifically, no statute or court rule allows an
                    appeal from a post-judgment or interlocutory order deconsolidating cases,
                    statistically closing a case, and directing that all future documents be filed
                    in another case.2 See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345-
