JOHN LUCKETT, Appellant, v. EDWARD DOUMANI; LA CONCHA MOTEL; AND MICHAEL LANNI, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order declaring appellant a vexatious litigant. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jacqueline M. Bluth, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule.” Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court rule permits an appeal from the order declaring appellant a vexatious litigant. See Peck v. Crouser, 129 Nev. 120, 124, 295 P.3d 586, 588 (2013) (“As vexatious litigant orders are not independently appealable under NRAP 3A(b) or any statutory provision, we lack jurisdiction to review an appeal from such an order.”). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
