QUIWANECA SPIKES, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se notice of appeal. This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Appellant appears to be challenging the court of appeals order affirming in part, reversing in part, and remanding in appellant's appeal in Docket No. 88744-COA. Appellant cannot appeal to this court from an order of the court of appeals. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 792 P.2d 1133 (1990) (right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). To the extent, if any, appellant's notice of appeal can be construed as a petition for review or rehearing of the order in Docket No. 88744-COA, it is untimely. NRAP 40(a)(1); NRAP 40B(c). This court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
