TROY DANIEL HEATH, Appellant, v. HANNAH LEE THORMAHLEN, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a July 30, 2025, district court order denying an oral request to terminate supervised visitation, directing the parties to continue supervised visitation as previously ordered, and directing appellant to resume the Options Patch Program. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Clark County; Nadin Cutter, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule.” Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged order. Although an order finally denying a motion to modify custody is ordinarily appealable, see NRAP 3A(b)(7), the July 30 order denies a motion to modify temporary supervised visitation. Orders regarding temporary custody are not appealable. In re Temp. Custody of Five Minors, 105 Nev. 441, 777 P.2d 901 (1989) (stating that an order subject to periodic mandatory review and modification is not a final, appealable order). Nor does it appear that the district court has entered an order finally resolving the issue of custody. Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
