ORDER DISMISSING APPEALS These are consolidated appeals from a district court order denying a request for a preliminary injunction (Docket No. 71609) and a subsequent order granting a request for a preliminary injunction (Docket No. 72649). Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elizabeth Goff Gonzalez, Judge.
We conclude that these appeals are moot. In particular, because the district court's order at issue in Docket No. 72649 effectively overturned the order at issue in Docket No. 71609, the appeal in Docket No. 71609 is moot. Additionally, the district court's final judgment at issue in unconsolidated Docket No. 76934 has rendered the appeal in Docket No. 72649 moot, as the order granting injunctive relief at issue in Docket No. 72649 merged into the final judgment. Matter of W.N. Connell & Marjorie T. Connell Living Tr., 133 Nev. 137, 142, 393 P.3d 1090, 1094 (2017) (observing that a preliminary injunction merges into a subsequent final judgment such that an appeal from the order granting preliminary injunctive relief becomes moot). Because these appeals have been rendered moot, they no longer present a justiciable controversy for this court to resolve. Personhood Nev. v. Bristol, 126 Nev. 599, 602, 245 P.3d 572, 574 (2010) ("The question of mootness is one of justiciability. This court's duty
SUPREME COURT

Milainalialt is not to render advisory opinions but, rather, to resolve actual controversies by an enforceable judgment."). We therefore
