FORTE v. STATE (2020)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Derrell Wayne FORTE, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

No. 81116

Decided: June 10, 2020

Derrell Wayne Forte Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from the “denial of rehearing on March 17, 2020.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mary Kay Holthus, Judge.

Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from an order denying a motion for rehearing,¹ this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990). Accordingly, this court

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.

FOOTNOTES

1. The order entered on March 30, 2020, also denied a postconviction motion to withdraw a guilty plea. However, that order was not designated in the notice of appeal. See NRAP 3(c)(1)(B) (providing that notice of appeal shall “designate the judgment, order or part thereof being appealed”).
