Marc Shawn POUND, Appellant, v. Salina K. JAMES, n/k/a Salena Robinson, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal. Second Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Washoe County; Chuck Weller, Judge.
Appellant tails to identify any appealable order in his notice of appeal, in the documents transmitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g), the clerk of the district court notes that “Appellant's Notice of Appeal does not designate the Judgment, order or part thereof being appealed as required by [procedural rules].” Appellant's appellate brief states that he is challenging a September 30, 2020, “order to suspend driver's license” and an October 15, 2020, “master's findings and recommendations to modify,” which appear to relate to child support proceedings and are not part of District Court Case No. DV03-00255, appellant's divorce case underlying this appeal. Thus, appellant's notice of appeal appears to have been filed incorrectly in the case below, as no such orders were entered in that district court case and are therefore not part of the record on appeal. See NRAP 10(a) (“The trial court record consists of the papers and exhibits filed in the district court ․”); Carson Ready Mix, Inc. v. First Nat'l Bank of Nev., 97 Nev. 474, 476, 635 P.2d 276, 277 (1981) (“We cannot consider matters not properly appearing in the record on appeal.”). As the orders appellant seeks to challenge are not available to or properly before this court in this appeal, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
