Matthew JOHNSON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a purported district court order denying a “motion to dismiss court appointed counsel for ineffective assistance.”1 Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge.
This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from a district court order denying a motion to dismiss appointed trial counsel. 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). Accordingly, this
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
