ARNOLD KEITH ANDERSON, Appellant, v. STATE OF NEVADA (NDOC); B. WILLIAMS; BALL -CO; LINFORD -SGT; J. BORROWENA; AND N. B. WILLIAMS, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge. Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect.
Appellant's notice of appeal fails to designate the specific order or judgment being challenged on appeal. See NRAP 3(c)(1)(B). In appellant's notice of appeal, appellant challenges the lower court's decision on January 16, 2024, but no decision was entered that day. To the extent appellant appeals the minute order denying plaintiff's motion to enter default on January 11, 2024, or the vacation of the hearing set in district court for January 16, 2024, there is no court rule or statute authorizing such appeals, and 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). Accordingly, this court dismisses this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
It is so ORDERED.
