DANIEL A. COOMER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court “stipulation and order regarding the defendant's competency and commitment to Lakes Crossing and stipulation to vacate hearing.” Fourth Judicial District Court, Elko County; Alvin R. Kacin, Judge.
Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from the aforementioned district court order, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when statute or court rule provides for appeal). Additionally, appellant through appointed counsel, stipulated to the entry of the challenged order and he may not now challenge it. See Vinci v. Las Vegas Sands, Inc., 115 Nev. 243, 246, 984 P.2d 750, 752 (1999) (when a party voluntarily stipulates to the entry of an order, that party cannot later attack it as adversely affecting that party's rights). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
