                                         ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

                               This is an appeal from a district court order adjudicating an
                   attorney's lien and awarding attorney fees. Eighth Judicial District Court,
                   Family Court Division, Clark County; Cheryl B. Moss, Judge.
                               Initial review of the docketing statement and documents before
                   this court reveled a potential jurisdictional defect. It appeared that the
                   challenged order is not appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1)
                   because it does not resolve any claims pending in the underlying district
                   court case. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 
116 Nev. 424
, 426, 
996 P.2d 416, 417
                   (2000) (defining a final judgment). In response, appellant asserts that the
                   order is final with respect to the attorney fee issue and the remaining issues
                   pending in the divorce action are collateral to that issue.
                               A final judgment is one that resolves all issues presented in a
                   matter, leaving nothing for the district court's future consideration except
                   post-judgment issues. 
Id.
 Appellant acknowledges in her response that the
                   divorce action remains pending in the district court. Thus, the challenged
                   order is not a final judgment. As no other statue or court rules appears to
                   allow an appeal from the challenged order, see Brown v. MHC Stagecoach,
