Paul Jay MOON, Appellant, v. Joseph LOMBARDO, Sheriff; LVMPD; LVMPD Internal Affairs; LVMPD Sean Killean #9675; and LVMPD Detective Jeter, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court minute order denying multiple motions for failure to allege facts sufficient for the court to grant relief. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Timothy C. Williams, Judge.
Our preliminary review of the documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the order designated in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may be taken). 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 Corp., 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the above-mentioned order. See also Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 747 P.2d 1380 (1987) (explaining that a district court's minute order cannot be appealed, and that a written order or judgment must be filed before a district court ruling can be appealed). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
