Nicole BOATNER, Appellant, v. Randy BROWN, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule allows an appeal from a temporary custody order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court “may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule”); In re Temporary Custody of Five Minor Children, 105 Nev. 441, 777 P.2d 901 (1989) (stating that no appeal may be taken from temporary custody orders subject to periodic mandatory review); NRAP 3A(b)(7) (allowing an appeal from a district court order that finally alters custody of minor children). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
