Steven Floyd VOSS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from district court orders denying a motion for entry of judgment of acquittal and denying a motion for reconsideration. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Jerome M. Polaha, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no statute or court rule permits an appeal from district court orders denying a motion for entry of judgment of acquittal and denying a motion for reconsideration. 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); Phelps v. State, 111 Nev. 1021, 1022-23, 900 P.2d 344, 344-45 (1.995) (no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a motion for reconsideration). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
