ALLANNA WARREN v. CITY OF LAS VEGAS NEVADA CLARK COUNTY OF NEVADA AND LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an interlocutory district court order denying appellant's motion for judicial recusal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.

Initial review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the order designated in the notice of appeal 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, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an interlocutory order denying a motion for judicial recusal. See Ham v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 93 Nev. 409, 412, 566 P.2d 420, 422 (1977) (explaining that “[a] voluntary order of disqualification of a judge is not an appealable order”); United States v. Washington, 573 F.2d 1121, 1122 (9th Cir. 1978) (recognizing that “denial of a motion to disqualify is not a final order nor one that should be treated as such”). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
