Menu:
  •                               Although appellant's counsel has not appealed from the
    district court's order, he asks that we overrule our longstanding precedent
    holding that a party's counsel is not a party with standing to appeal.

    We decline to do so. Appellant's counsel's remedy is in the form of an
    original writ petition challenging the district court's order.   See Office of
    Washoe Cnty. Dist. Attny., 116 Nev. at 635, 
    5 P.3d at 566
    .
    Accordingly, as we lack jurisdiction, we
    ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
