SUNDE v. RIDGE (2018)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a motion to alter or amend an order entered June 6, 2017. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Kathleen M. Drakulich, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the order designated in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a motion to alter or amend. Uniroyal Goodrich Tire v. Mercer, 111 Nev. 318, 320 n.1, 890 P.2d 785, 787 n.1 (1995), superseded on other grounds by statute as stated in RTTC Commc'nc, LLC v. Saratoga, Flier, Inc., 121 Nev. 34, 110 P.3d 24 (2005). The appeal must be taken from the final judgment. See, e.g., Alvis v. State, Gaming Control Bd., 99 Nev. 184, 660 P.2d 980 (1983), disapproved of on other grounds by AA Primo Builders, LLC v. Washington, 126 Nev. 578, 245 P.3d 1190 (2010). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
