Charles Eric STEWART, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order denying a motion for rehearing. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge.
This court previously entered an order directing appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. It appeared that no statute or court rule allowed an appeal from an order denying a motion for reconsideration. See Phelps v. State, 111 Nev. 1021, 900 P.2d 344 (1995); Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990). In response, appellant states that this appeal should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Accordingly, as no statute or court rule appears to allow an appeal from the order challenged on appeal, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
