DAVID L. REED, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA IN RELATION TO THE NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; JAMES DZURENDA; CHARLES DANIELS; BRIAN E. WILLIAMS; CALVIN JOHNSON; JEREMY BEAN; AARON D. FORD; ALLISON HERR; JAIMIE STILZ AND THE NEVADA BOARD OF PAROLE COMMISSIONERS, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an interlocutory district court order denying a motion for reconsideration of a motion to extend time for service of summons. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, 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 aforementioned order. 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, we lack jurisdiction and
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.1

FOOTNOTES
1. We note that the August 6, 2025, form “Civil Order to Statistically Close Case” is not a final appealable judgment. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 347, 301 P.3d 850, 852-53 (2013). Appellant may file a new notice of appeal once the district court enters a written order finally resolving appellant's complaint.
