DOES v. DOE (2025)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order adopting the recommendation of the probate commissioner in a trust matter. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lynne K. Jones, Judge.

The challenged order affirms a recommendation to grant in part and deny in part a motion for summary judgment regarding a petition to assume jurisdiction over a trust and for declaratory relief. Appellants assert in the docketing statement that they do not believe the order is appealable under NRS 155.190(1)(h), which permits appeals from orders instructing or appointing a trustee. Appellants state they filed the notice of appeal in an abundance of caution because the order makes declarations as to the trustee's conduct. We agree that the challenged order is not appealable under NRS 155.190(1)(h). And it does not appear that any other statute or court rules authorizes an appeal from the order. 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.
