IN RE: THE APPOINTMENT OF A GUARDIAN AD LITEM FOR MINOR HANSEN IRINA HANSEN, Appellants. v. DONOVAN HANSEN, Respondent
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order and amended order appointing a guardian ad litem. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Dedree Butler, Judge.
This court's preliminary review of the documents before us reveals a jurisdictional defect. In particular, no statute or court rule provides for a right to appeal from an order appointing a guardian ad litem. See NRAP 3A(b); NRS 159.033; see also 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.”). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
