JAYON ANDERSON, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from the district court's oral decision denying a motion for appointment of attorney and for evidentiary hearing and regarding appellant's ex parte motion to withdraw plea. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Crystal Eller, Judge.
Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from a district court order denying a motion for appointment of attorney, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider the appeal from this order. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when a statute or court rule provides for an appeal). It appears that the court's decision on the motion to withdraw plea was continued and is set to be heard on April 22, 2025. See NRS 177.015(3) (stating that a defendant may only appeal from a final judgment or verdict). Appellant's appeal related to the motion to withdraw plea is premature. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
