No it is not but the question is what is behind the brick? If there are combustible materials behind the brick then it is still a combustible wall just with reduced clearances

Ok then no clearance issues at all as long as you are sure there is no framing behind the brick you could push the stove right against the wall if you wanted to. Although i wouldn't recommend it lol
 
You don't have a dead body stashed back there do you? "All that is behind murder and brick." ::-)
 
As a matter of curiousity, how much does a brick wall with framing immediately behind it allow you to reduce clearances?
 
it reduces clearances by 1/3

That would a a 33% reduction for an unlisted stove with a clearance of 36", but does not apply if the stove's listed clearance is already 12" or less.

MI306.2.1 Solid-fuel appliances. Table M1306.2 shall not be used to reduce the clearance required for solid-fuel appliances listed for installation with minimum clearances of 12 inches (305 mm) or less. For appliances listed for installation with minimum clearances greater than 12 inches (305 mm), Table M1306.2 shall not be used to reduce the clearance to less than 12 inches (305 mm).
