AMY C. DZIEDZIC A/K/A AMY C. HANLEY, Appellant, v. MICHAEL D. DZIEDZIC, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order denying a motion for reconsideration. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Mary D. Perry, Judge.
This court's review of the notice of appeal and the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the order is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels Corp., 100 Nev. 207, 209, 678 P.2d 1152, 1153 (1984). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a motion for reconsideration.1 Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.

Eighth District Court Clerk
FOOTNOTES
1. Insofar as the motion for reconsideration can be considered a timely tolling motion pursuant to NRAP 4(a)(4), the only order timely challenged by the motion for reconsideration is the district court's order issued on November 16, 2023, ordering a psychiatric evaluation of appellant. No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order for a psychiatric evaluation.
