LACOST v. LACOST (2025)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Chandra Lynn LACOST, Appellant, v. William Christopher LACOST, Respondent.

No. 91221

Decided: September 22, 2025

Chandra Lynn LaCost William Christopher LaCost

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the order challenged in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable, as no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order denying a request to disqualify a judge. 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.”). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.¹

FOOTNOTES

1. In light of this order, appellant's emergency motion for stay, renewed emergency motion for stay, motion to waive transcript fees, and motion to compel rulings on pending emergency motions are denied as moot.
