SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

April 17, 2015

An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is a pro se appeal from a district court summary judgment in a real property action, certified as final under NRCP 54(b).¹ Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Adriana Escobar, Judge.

Having considered appellant's appeal statement and the record on appeal, we conclude that the district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of respondents. See Wood v. Safeway, Inc., 121 Nev. 724, 729, 121 P.3d 1026, 1029 (2005) (reviewing de novo a district court's decision to grant summary judgment). In particular, we agree with the district court's conclusions that appellant did not present evidence sufficient to support the elements of her four claims for relief as those claims related to respondents. See Cuzze v. Univ. & Cmty. Coll. Sys. of Nev., 123 Nev. 598, 602-03, 172 P.3d 131, 134 (2007) ("[I]f the nonmoving party will bear the burden of persuasion at trial, the party moving for summary judgment may satisfy the [summary judgment

standard] by . . . pointing out . . . that there is an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party's case." (internal quotation omitted)). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
