ROUGH v. TAPIA (2020)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motions. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, Judge.

Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the order designated in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). 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, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a “Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting Substantive Rights,” an order denying a “Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting Affirmative Application of Strict Scrutiny Procedural Protections,” or an order denying a “Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting Equal Protection Under the Law.” Nor do appellant's motions seek relief other than advisory opinions. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction, and

ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
