ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order granting a motion to vacate an
order to pay attorney's lien. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court
Division. Clark County; Mary D. Perry, Judge.
Review of the documents transmitted to this court by the
district court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect.
Specifically, appellant does not have standing to appeal. NRAP 3A(a)
(allowing an appeal by an aggrieved party). "[A]n attorney representing a
client in a case is not a party to the action and does not have standing to
appeal" from a district court order adjudicating an attorney lien in that
litigation. Albert D. Massi, Ltd. u. Bellmyre, 111 Nev. 1520, 1521, 908 P.2d
705, 706 (1995). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction, and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.'
