MEMORANDUM **

Because the Buenaventuras are not parties to the insurance contract between AAA and Chau, and do not have a judgment against Chau, they have no standing to sue AAA for a declaration of coverage. Knittle v. Progressive Cas. Ins. Co., 112 Nev. 8, 908 P.2d 724, 726 (1996). A tort claimant’s rights against the tortfeasor’s insurer do not mature until the tort claimant recovers a judgment. Roberts v. Farmers Ins. Co. 91 Nev. 199, 533 P.2d 158, 159 (1975). Nevada law, which applies to this diversity action, does not recognize a right of action on the part of a third-party claimant against an insurance company for bad-faith refusal to settle. Tweet v. Webster, 610 F.Supp. 104, 105 (D.Nev. 1985); see Hunt v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 655 F.Supp. 284, 286-88 (D.Nev. 1987).

Parties need not have standing to intervene in this circuit, see State of California Dep’t of Soc. Servs. v. Thompson, 321 F.3d 835, 846 n. 9 (9th Cir. 2003), but must have standing to appeal, see Diamond v. Charles, 476 U.S. 54, 68, 106 S.Ct. 1697, 90 L.Ed.2d 48 (1986). Because the Buena-venturas do not have standing to sue AAA, they do not have standing to appeal. The only exception is the Buenaventuras’ standing to appeal the district court’s limitation on their intervention, which we affirm for the same reasons as given by the district court. On all other matters, this appeal is dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

AFFIRMED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART.
