                                            ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                                  This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a
                       motion to dismiss. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lynne
                       K. Simons, Judge.
                                  Review of the notice of appeal, docketing statement, and other
                       documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The challenged
                       order is not appealable as a final judgment because, as appellant seems to
                       concede in his docketing statement, appellant's claims against The
                       University of Reno, Reno School of Medicine, Thomas Schwenk, and J.
                       Epperson remain pending in the district court.        See NRAP 3A(b)(1)
                       (allowing an appeal from a final judgment); Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev.
                       424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417 (2000) ([A] final judgment is one that disposes
                       of all the issues presented in the case, and leaves nothing for the future
                       consideration of the court, except for post-judgment issues such as
                       attorney's fees and costs."). And no other statute or court rule appears to
                       authorize an appeal from the challenged order.        See Brown v. MHC
                       Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court
