                                         ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                                This is an appeal from an order (the enforcement order)
                    granting respondents Motion to Void Deeds, Assign Property, For Writ of
                    Execution and To Convey, which respondent, Jed Margolin, filed to collect
                    on his prior default judgment against appellant, Reza Zandian. First
                    Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, Judge.
                                Respondent directly challenges the appealability of the
                    enforcement order under any statute or rule. Appellant responds that the
                    order is appealable as a special order after final judgment (SOAFJ) under
                    NRAP 3A(b)(2). But, as appellant acknowledges, to be appealable as an
                    SOAFJ, an order must "affect[ } the rights of some party to the action,
                    growing out of the judgrnent previously entered." Gumrn v. Mainor, 118
                    Nev. 912, 914, 59 P.3d 1220, 1221 (2002). Accordingly, post judgment orders
                    that do not affect rights already incorporated in a judgment are not
                    appealable as SOAFJs. Murray v. A Cab Taxi Serv. LLC, No. 81641, 2020
                    WL 6585946(Nev. November 9, 2020)(Order Dismissing Appeal). And here,
                    Margolin's right to execute on his default judgment arises from the default
                    judgment itself, not the subsequent enforcement order. Appellant having

                                                                                                 e
                  effectively conceded that no other statute or rule specifically provides for an
                  appeal from the enforcement order, see Colton v. Murphy, 71 Nev. 71, 72,
                  279 P.2d 1036, 1036 (1955) (holding that a failure to challenge a point raised
                  on appeal "constitutes a clear concession by appellants that there is merit
                  in respondents position"), we therefore
                              ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
