HOUSTON v. STATE (2026)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Matthew Travis HOUSTON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

No. 92255

Decided: March 20, 2026

Matthew Travis Houston Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Appellant's notice of appeal fails to identify any decisions of the district court. See NRAP 3(c)(1)(B). To the extent, if any, appellant's notice of appeal can be construed as challenging the district court's oral decision on April 7, 2025, to remove several motions from the court's calendar because appellant has been deemed a vexatious litigant and did not seek permission to file the motions, 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); Peck. v. Crouser, 129 Nev. 120, 124, 295 P.3d 586, 588 (2013) (providing that vexatious litigant orders are not independently appealable). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
