Frank Manuel HERNANDEZ, Jr., Appellant, v. Perry RUSSELL, Warden; James Dzurenda, Director; and Warm Springs Correctional Center, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to proceed in forma pauperis and an order denying a request for submission. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and docketing statement reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rules authorizes an appeal from an order denying a motion to proceed in forma pauperis or an order denying a request for submission. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, 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”), and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
