ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting a
post-judgment motion to interplead settlement proceeds. Eighth Judicial
District Court, Clark County; David M. Jones, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this
court reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court "may only consider
appeals authorized by statute or court rule." Brown u. MHC Stagecoach,
LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court
rule allows an appeal from an order allowing a party to interplead funds.
Because the order does not determine which parties are entitled to the
settlement funds, the order does not affect appellant's rights to the funds
and is not appealable as a special order after final judgment. See NRAP
3A(b)(8); Gurnm v. Mainor, 118 Nev. 912, 920, 59 P.3d 1220, 1225 (2002)
(to be an appealable special order after final judgment, the order must

affect the rights of a party to the action which grow out of the previously
entered judgment). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED)
