MORAGA v. GARCIA AND (2019)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motion to strike respondents' answer and motion for an appointment of counsel. Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Steve L. Dobrescu, 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 either an order denying a motion to strike an answer or from an order denying a motion for the appointment of counsel. This court lacks jurisdiction, and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
