LAWRENCE DEAN GREEN, Appellant, v. SHERIFF, CLARK COUNTY AND THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a pretrial petition for writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Ronald J. Israel, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the right to appeal is statutory, and where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 792 P.2d 1133 (1990). No appeal lies for appellant from an order denying a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Gary v. Sheriff, 96 Nev. 78, 605 P.2d 212 (1980) (order denying pretrial habeas relief is an intermediate order that may be challenged in a timely appeal from the judgment of conviction). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
