John Walter SALMON, Appellant, v. Jennifer Jean HOCKADAY, f/k/a Jennifer Jean Salmon, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order extending a temporary protection order against domestic violence. Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County; Thomas W. Gregory, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. See Brown v.

See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may be taken); see generally In re Temporary Custody of Five Minor Children, 105 Nev. 441, 777 P.2d 901 (1989) (stating that no appeal may be taken from a temporary order subject to periodic mandatory review). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
