CHRISTIAN ANTONIO VASQUEZ, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal of a district court order denying a motion for reconsideration of sentencing and for an evidentiary hearing, and granting request for correction of credit for time served. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Ronald J. Israel, Judge.
No statute or court rule permits an appeal from the portion of the order denying reconsideration of sentencing. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when statute or court rule provides for appeal); Phelps v. State, 111 Nev. 1021, 900 P.2d 344 (1995) (providing that an order denying a motion for rehearing or reconsideration is not appealable). Additionally, appellant is not aggrieved by the portion of the order granting his request and increasing the amount of credit for time served that he received. See NRS 177.015 (only an aggrieved party may appeal). This court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
