the record. Thus, there was nothing in the underlying action to which the lien could attach and the district court prematurely adjudicated the attorney lien. NRS 18.015(4)(a); Leventhal, 129 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 50, 305 P.3d at 910 (holding that questions of statutory construction are reviewed de novo). Accordingly, we remand this matter for the district court to vacate its attorney lien judgment.

It is so ORDERED. 1

'We do not disturb that portion of the district court's order permitting Gabroy's withdrawal.

Gabroy's argument that Afrand's July 21, 2011, release precludes the instant appeal lacks merit. The release pertained to the fee disputes that the arbitration panel adjudicated, and the arbitration panel expressly declined to address the fee dispute in the underlying case.

Afrand requests from this court various other relief related to his fee dispute with Gabroy, but such relief is beyond the scope of this appeal and we decline to consider those arguments.

This order constitutes our final resolution of this appeal.
