IN RE: A.B. (2025)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal of an order substantiating a petition for child protection, and an order denying a motion to dismiss for subject matter jurisdiction and for conflict of interest and denying objection and demand for cease and desist order against Child Protective Services for duress, coercion, and unethical conduct, entered in an NRS 432B abuse and neglect proceeding. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Margaret E. Pickard, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged orders. NRAP 3A(b)(7) (indicating orders that require the continual assessment of custody are generally not appealable); see also State v. Second Jud. Dist. Ct. (Ayden A.), 132 Nev. 352, 354 n.1, 373 P.3d 63, 64 n.1 (2016) (indicating that orders resolving NRS 432B abuse and neglect issues are generally not appealable); see Kirsch v. Traber, 134 Nev. 163, 168, 414 P.3d 818, 822 (2018) (stating that an order denying a motion to dismiss is not appealable). Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from the aforementioned district court orders, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (explaining that this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”). Accordingly, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
