ROBERT ANTHONY HIGH, Appellant, v. JEREMY BEAN, WARDEN HDSP, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal of a district court order dismissing a post-conviction petition to “ ‘establish a bona fide issue of factual Innocence pursuant to NRS 34.900-34.990 (Second Petition for Actual Innocence).” Eighth Judicial District Court. Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule permits an appeal from the aforementioned district court order. See Sanchez v. State, 140 Nev., Adv. Op. 78, 561 P.3d 35, 41 (2024) (“[N]o court rule or statute authorizes an appeal from an order dismissing an innocence petition without prejudice under NRS 34.960.”); Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when a statute or court rule provides for appeal). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
