IN RE: the Parental Rights as to: A.M.C. (2018)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a motion for the appointment of counsel. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Dixie Grossman, 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 denying a motion for the appointment of counsel. This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.¹
