IN RE: the Petition of FORMA PAUPERIS REQUEST. Gene Anthony Allen, Appellant, v. The State of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This pro se appeal is from an order of the district court denying appellant's motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elizabeth Goff Gonzalez, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from such an order. See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may be taken); NRS 12.015(7) (orders regarding indigency are not appealable). We therefore lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
