DENNIS BAHAM, Appellant, v. FIRST AMERICAN TRUSTEE SERVICING SOLUTIONS, LLC, A FOREIGN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY; SHELLPOINT MORTGAGE SERVICING, LLC; AND NEW REZ HOME MORTGAGES, LLC, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion for reconsideration and a motion for entry of default. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jacob A. Reynolds, Judge. Review of the notice of appeal and documents transmitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) 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 independent appeal from an order denying a motion for reconsideration or denying a motion for entry of default.1 See Arnold v. Kip, 123 Nev. 410, 417, 168 P.3d 1050, 1054 (2007). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
