ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to correct a journal entry, denying a motion to correct disposition, and denying a motion for reconsideration of the district court's denial of appellant's requests for appointed counsel. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tina Talim, Judge.
Review of the district court docket entries and documents before this court reveals jurisdictional defects. First, appellant's motion to correct disposition requested that the district court amend its March 6, 2025, order dismissing her complaint to reflect a dismissal without prejudice as opposed to with prejudice. However, attached to appellant's notice of appeal is an amended order dismissing appellant's complaint without prejudice that was entered by the district court on May 5, 2025. Thus, it appears that appellant is no longer aggrieved by the denial of her motion to correct disposition. See NRAP 3A(a) (providing that only an aggrieved party may appeal). Second, no statute or court rule permits an appeal from a district court order denying a motion to correct journal entry and denying reconsideration of a request for counsel. 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, this court lacks jurisdiction and
