   Schrader's heir and the personal representative of her estate and
   requesting to substitute into the underlying matter as a party. Appellant
   then filed a notice of appeal before the district court could rule on
   appellant's motion to substitute, and therefore, appellant was not a party
   of record in the matter below. As a result, appellant lacks standing to
   appeal from the district court's order, and thus, this court lacks
  jurisdiction to entertain his appeal.       See NRAP 3A(a); Valley Bank, 110
   Nev. at 448, 874 P.2d at 735. Accordingly, we
                     ORDER this appeal DISMISSED. 1
