IN RE: THE ESTATE OF MARILYN WEEKS SWEET, DECEASED CHRISTY KAY SWEET, Appellant, v. KATHRYN SWEET AND VANESSA JOHNSON, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal of an order declaring appellant a vexatious litigant in the probate matter below. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Gloria Sturman, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from this decision. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”); Peck v. Crouser, 129 Nev. 120, 124, 295 P.3d 586, 588 (2013) (providing that vexatious litigant orders are not independently appealable). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
