Schrader's heir and the personal representative of her estate and requesting to substitute into the underlying matter as a party. Appellant then filed a notice of appeal before the district court could rule on appellant's motion to substitute, and therefore, appellant was not a party of record in the matter below. As a result, appellant lacks standing to appeal from the district court's order, and thus, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain his appeal. See NRAP 3A(a); Valley Bank, 110 Nev. at 448, 874 P.2d at 735. Accordingly, we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED. 1
