LAW v. STATE BAR (2018)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Stephen LAW, Appellant, v. The STATE BAR of Nevada; and Becky Ann Pintar, Respondents.

No. 74291

Decided: June 15, 2018

Stephen Law Pintar Albiston LLP State Bar of Nevada/Las Vegas

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal of a letter from the State Bar informing appellant that his grievance against attorney Becky Pintar has been dismissed.

Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. It appears that the determination designated in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal of a letter from the State Bar dismissing a grievance. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
