CLODUALDO JASSO MARTINEZ v. MARIA RODRIGUEZ LARA (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order determining that appellant made a prima facie showing that modifying custody is in the best interest of the parties’ children, referring the parties to mediation regarding visitation, and setting a hearing if they are unable to come to an agreement at mediation. Second Judicial District Court, Family Division, Washoe County; Tamatha Schreinert, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The challenged order is not appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(7) because it does not finally establish or modify custody of the parties’ minor children. And no other statute or court rule appears to permit an appeal from the challenged order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (providing that this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.¹
