Jeremiah SCOTT, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from “the rulings in the above referenced case.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Stefany Miley, Judge.
Our initial review of this appeal revealed a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, our review of the district court minute entries indicates that no order has been entered in the underlying matter from which this court can properly exercise its appellate jurisdiction. Further, no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from district court orders granting a motion to revoke defendant's phone privileges, requiring material witness to post bail or be committed to custody, and granting the quashing of the material witness warrant. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). Accordingly, on November 9, 2017, we ordered appellant's counsel to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
To date, appellant's counsel has not responded to the order to show cause. Nevertheless, having reviewed the documents filed with the notice of appeal, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
