IN RE: THE PETITION BY: ERIC PERREIRA, ERIC ANTONIO PERREIRA Appellant, v. SAMANTHA EISENBERG, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court minute order rescheduling a calendar call and consolidating the calendar call with a hearing on a motion for jury trial. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Stacy Michelle Rocheleau, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Minute orders are not generally appealable. Div. of Child & Family Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 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.”). To the extent the directives within the minute order are effective in the absence of a written order, no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from a district court order rescheduling a calendar call and consolidating the calendar call with a hearing on a motion for jury trial. 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”). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
