Antonio Lee MIXON, Jr. Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a pretrial motion to suppress. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michael Villani, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no statute or court rule allows a defendant to appeal from an order denying a pretrial motion to suppress evidence. 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); see also NRS 177.015(2) (only the state may appeal from an order granting or denying a pretrial motion to suppress). Accordingly, we conclude that lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
