ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Alnasser named "Code Enforcement" as the defendant in the underlying action. The district court dismissed Alnasser's complaint, concluding that, "while the [c]omplaint is unclear as to Plaintiff's claims and recovery that she is seeking, what is clear is that she sued Code Enforcement. However, Code Enforcement is not an independent legal entity which can be sued. Thus, the complaint must be dismissed." The district court also encouraged Alnasser to consult with counsel to determine what claims to bring and against which entity to assert them. This appeal followed.

On appeal, Alnasser simply alleges that Code Enforcement wrongly charged her various sums and stole items from her property. She does not at all challenge the district court's determination that Code Enforcement is not an independent entity capable of being sued. In light of her failure to challenge the grounds upon which the district court relied in dismissing her complaint, Alnasser has failed to demonstrate that reversal is warranted, see Senjab v. Alhulaibi, 137 Nev., Adv. Op. 64, 497 P.3d 618, 619 (2021) ("We will not supply an argument on a party's behalf but review only the issues the parties present."); Powell v. Liberty Mut. Fire Ins. Co., 127 Nev. 156, 161 n.3, 252 P.3d 668, 672 n.3 (2011) (providing that issues not raised on appeal are deemed waived); see also AED, Inc. v. KDC Invs., LLC, 307 P.3d 176, 181 (Idaho 2013) (providing that an appellant must successfully challenge all of the grounds relied upon by the district court in order to prevail on appeal), and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
