BRADLEY JOHN BELLISARIO v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2025)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order denying a motion for change in custody following the revocation of appellant's bail and his remand to custody. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Crystal Eller, Judge.

On February 11, 2025, this court entered an order to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as it appeared no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from the challenged order. Appellant has filed a response to the order and respondent has filed a reply. Appellant's response to the order to show cause asserts that waiting for a final judgment in the proceedings below would render his appeal moot,¹ but does not cite to any statute or court rule that provides for an appeal from the challenged order. This does not resolve the jurisdictional defect in this appeal. See NRS 177.015 (allowing for appeal from certain orders in criminal actions); Castillo v. State, 160 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists); Moran v. Bonneville Square Assocs., 117 Nev. 525, 527, 25 P.3d 898, 899 (2001) (“[T]he burden rests squarely upon the shoulders of a party seeking to invoke our jurisdiction to establish, to our satisfaction, that this court does in fact have jurisdiction.”). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
