MATTHEW TRAVIS HOUSTON v. NEVADA BOARD OF PAROLE COMMISSIONERS CALVIN JOHNSON ROSEMARIE MCMORRIS ALEXANDER REDENTA BLACIC JONATHAN SHOCKLEY BRIAN CLARK AND DANIEL SCHWARTZ (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from the “opinion of Jennifer L.G. Schwartz entered January 19, 2024.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, 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, appellant fails to identify an appealable order. 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). In this matter, we note that the January 19 order appellant apparently is seeking to appeal was filed in Case No. A-22-853203-W, the appeal from which was docketed in this court under Docket No. 88275.¹ Judge Schwartz did not preside over the proceedings underlying the notice of appeal filed in this case, No. A-23-882507-C, and no decision in that case was entered on January 19. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over the appeal in Docket No. 88281 and

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
