                                      ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                            This is an appeal from a November 5, 2015, findings of fact,
                conclusions of law, and order, and from a December 10, 2015, judgment.
                Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; James Crockett, Judge.
                            When our initial review of the docketing statement revealed a
                potential jurisdictional defect, we ordered appellants to show cause why
                this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Specifically, it
                was not clear whether the counterclaims against Spring Mountain Ranch
                Master Association and Nevada Association Services or the counterclaim
                for unjust enrichment were resolved such that the district court order or
                judgment was appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1).               See
                Lee v. GNLV, Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000).
                            In response to our order, appellant has submitted a copy of a
                stipulation resolving the counterclaims against Spring Mountain Ranch
                Master Association and Nevada Association Services.             Appellants also

                assert that the counterclaim for unjust enrichment was dismissed in the
                November 5, 2015, findings of fact and conclusions of law. But that order
                did not resolve the unjust enrichment claim. Instead, it granted
                respondent's motion for summary judgment, which did not request
                summary judgment with respect to thefl unjust enrichment claim, and
                denied appellants' motion for summary judgment and request for a
                continuance. Accordingly, appellants fail to demonstrate that the
                counterclaim for unjust enrichment was resolved in the district court and
                thus that the challenged order and judgment are appealable under NRAP
                3A(b)(1). We conclude that we lack jurisdiction and
                           ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
