COLEMAN v. STATE (2018)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Joseph Lafay COLEMAN, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

No. 75668

Decided: May 21, 2018

Law Office of Betsy Allen Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court decision denying a motion for self-representation. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge.

This court's review of this appeal reveals jurisdictional defects. No order denying a motion for self-representation was entered in the underlying matter. Further, no statute or court rule permits an appeal from an order denying a motion for self-representation. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.¹
