Supreme Court of Nevada.

Charles ERNST, Appellant, v. Rosemary ERNST, Respondent.

No. 79422

Decided: September 10, 2019

Charles Ernst Fine Carman Price

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order directing the joinder of a new party and continued litigation. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr., Judge.

Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the order 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 provides for an appeal from an order directing the joinder of a party. This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.¹
