IN RE: THE PETITION BY: PAULA RAMONDA R.O. BROOKS FRESHWADDA A/K/A RYAN 0. BROOKS, Appellant, v. PAULA RAMONDA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to disqualify the district judge presiding over the underlying family court proceedings. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.
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 this appeal is dismissed.
It is so ORDERED.1
Pickering, J.
Cadish, J.
Lee, J.
FOOTNOTES
1. In light of this order, appellant's pending motions to extend filing deadlines for the docketing statement, transcript request form, and opening brief, and motion to waive the costs of transcript preparation are denied as moot. The clerk shall strike the transcript request form filed on November 6, 2025. Respondent's motions for stay, to dismiss this appeal, and emergency motion to enforce the custody order and pickup warrant are also denied as moot. Respondent may file the motion for stay and motion to enforce the custody order in the district court, if appropriate.
