Cesar Alejandro CLEMENTE-PEREZ, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This appeal was initiated by the filing of a pro se notice of appeal. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Kimberly A. Wanker, Judge.
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on July 1, 2019.1 In his notice of appeal, appellant states that he is challenging an order denying rehearing. Review of the district court docket entries does not indicate that any appealable order has been entered since the entry of the judgment of conviction on May 18, 2017. To the extent that appellant appeals from the order denying rehearing entered by the Court of Appeals in Docket No. 74256-COA, no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from such an order. See NRAP 40B(a) (“A decision of the Court of Appeals is a final decision that is not reviewable by the Supreme Court except on petition for review.”); Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 792 P.2d 1133 (1990) (right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). To the extent that the document can be construed as a petition for review of the Court of Appeals order, it was untimely filed. See NRAP 40B(c). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
FOOTNOTES
1. The notice of appeal was received in this court on May 20, 2019. A notice of appeal that is mistakenly filed in the Supreme Court shall be considered filed in the district court on the date so noted. NRAP 4(e).
