MATTHEW TRAVIS HOUSTON, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se notice of appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jennifer L. Schwartz, Judge.
Appellant filed the notice of appeal on February 5, 2026, stating that he appeals from “the retaliatory and erroneous minute order entered in this action January 12th, 2026.” This court's review of the notice of appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from this decision. See 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). This court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
