LANGFORD v. SMITH (2020)

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Review of the documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No appeal lies from the district court's verbal order. See Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (“[O]nly a written judgment may be appealed.”). Additionally, no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from the district court's denial of default judgment. Thus, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
