IN RE: STEVEN SINGER (2024)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from the district court's minute order; an order denying motions for hearing and for stay pending appeal; and an order “entered on January 3, 2024,” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Veronica Barisich, Judge.

Initial review of the documents before this court reveals jurisdictional defects. First, the district court's minute order is not effective and cannot be appealed. See State, Div. of Child & Family Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 445, 454, 92 P.3d 1239, 1245 (2004) (“[D]ispositional court orders that are not administrative in nature, but deal with the procedural posture or merits of the underlying controversy, must be written, signed, and filed before they become effective.”). No statute or court rule allows for an appeal from the order denying motions for hearing and for stay pending appeal. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”); Brunzell Constr. Co. v. Harrah's Club, 81 Nev. 414, 404 P.2d 902 (1965) (an order granting or denying a stay of proceedings is not appealable). Finally, the district court docket entries do not indicate that any order was entered on January 3, 2024. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
