AARON LATERRELL HARRIS, SR., Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from district court minutes denying a pretrial motion to suppress evidence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jennifer L. Schwartz, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects. Specifically, no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from district court minutes, and moreover, no statute or court rule allows a defendant to appeal from an order denying a pretrial motion to suppress evidence. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when statute or court rule provides for appeal). Only the State may appeal from a district court pretrial order granting or denying a motion to suppress evidence. NRS 177.015(2). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
