Blake ANDERSON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying appellant's pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no appeal lies from an order denying a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Gary v. Sheriff, 96 Nev. 78, 605 P.2d 212 (1980). The right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists. See Castillo u. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
