ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to reopen case. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Timothy C. Williams, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court may only consider appeals that are authorized by court rule or statute. Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order denying a motion to reopen case. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
