=(4 CLF-RIC_OF SUPREME COURT Resoondent. By DEPUT Y \Ii‘

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from a district court order granting a motion to dismiss. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kenneth C.

Cory, Judge.

Respondent filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant opposes the motion and respondent has filed a reply. In its motion, respondent contends that this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal because appellant's claims• against Mission Point Condominium Homeowners Association remain pending below, and because the order appealed from was not certified as final pursuant to NRCP 54(b), no final judgment has been entered below. Appellant argues that Mission Point was never a party to the action below because it was never served with the complaint. Respondent disputes the claim of lack of service.

Due to the factual issue regarding service as to Mission Point, on January 25, 2017, this court entered an order deferring ruling on the motion to dismiss, and directing appellant to, within 30 days, conclusively demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction or otherwise obtain a final judgment from the district court.
