Additionally, to the extent that the district court's order
declined to address issues relating to assets of the parties' business due to
a bankruptcy stay, the order is not otherwise appealable as a special order
after final judgment, because the order does not affect the rights of a party
to the action growing out of the judgment. See NRAP 3A(b)(8); Gumm v.
Mainor, 118 Nev. 912, 920, 59 P.3d 1220, 1225 (2002). Also, while the
district court granted respondent's request for attorney fees, the order did
not award an amount of fees but instead directed respondent to file an
affidavit of fees and indicated that the court would take the matter under
submission. See Lee v. GNLV Corp., 116 Nev. 424, 426, 996 P.2d 416, 417
(2000) (providing that a post-judgment order awarding attorney fees is
appealable as a special order made after final judgment). Thus, the
attorney fees issue was not decided with finality. We therefore lack
jurisdiction and dismiss this appeal as to these portions of the district
court's order.
Finally, as to appellant's challenge to the portion of the
district court's order denying his request to adjudicate items omitted from
the divorce decree, appellant contends in his civil proper person appeal
statement that the district court never addressed the undisclosed assets
and debts. The district court's order, however, does address these claims
by stating that appellant had not proven to the court's satisfaction that
undisclosed assets and debts were present, and that several of the items
were known to have existed at the time of the divorce and the parties
waived their rights to further discovery by entering into the marital
settlement agreement. Appellant has failed to establish on appeal that
the district court's decision was an abuse of discretion. See Doan v.
Wilkerson, 130 Nev. „ 327 P.3d 498, 501 (2014) (providing that this
SUPREME COURT

court reviews district court orders in divorce proceedings under an abuse
of discretion standard). Accordingly, we affirm this portion of the district
court's order.
It is so ORDERED.
