FRAHN v. PHILLIPS (2019)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a request to disqualify the district court judge and from a default on counterclaim. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. The documents challenged in the notice of appeal are not substantively appealable. No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order denying a request to disqualify a judge or from a default.¹ See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”). Accordingly, as this court lacks jurisdiction, this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.²

FOOTNOTES

1.   To the extent appellant challenges “the irregularities exposed in the bulldozing ahead of arbitration proceedings,” appellant fails to identify any specific district court order he appeals from. The district court docket sheet does not indicate that the district court has entered any appealable order with respect to arbitration.

2.   Any aggrieved party may file a new notice of appeal once the district court enters a final judgment or other appealable order. See NRAP 3A(b)(1).
