IN RE: THE APPLICATION OF JENNIFER LYNN TIPTON FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. JENNIFER LYNN TIPTON, Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a pretrial petition for writ of habeas corpus. Sixth Judicial District Court, Humboldt County; Michael Montero, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no appeal lies from an order denying a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus. See Gary v. Sheriff, 96 Nev. 78, 605 P.2d 212 (1980) (an order denying pretrial habeas relief is an intermediate order that may be challenged in a timely appeal from the judgment of conviction); Sheriff v. Gillock, 112 Nev. 213, 912 P.2d 274 (1996) (only the State may appeal from a district court order granting in part and denying in part a pretrial petition for writ of habeas corpus). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
