ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order denying a motion for summary judgment. Seventh Judicial District Court, Lincoln County; Steve L. Dobrescu, Judge.
Because a district court's order denying summary judgment is an interlocutory decision and is not independently appealable, this court directed appellant to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. GES, Inc. v. Corbitt, 117 Nev. 265, 268, 21 P.3d 11, (2001). Appellant has responded and argues that the order is appealable as an order denying an injunction pursuant to NRAP 3A(b)(3) because it denies relief similar to denying injunctive relief. The district court denied Supreme Court
OF
NEVADA (0) 19974 <@Em | : a. IZ 132. the motion for summary judgment on the ground that it lacked jurisdiction to proceed while an arbitration is pending. This is not the equivalent of denying an injunction. Moreover, to the extent the order could be read to compel arbitration, an order compelling arbitration is not an appealable order. Kindred v. Dist. Ct., 116 Nev. 405, 996 P.2d 903 (2000).
This court lacks jurisdiction, and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
