HOPE BACKMAN, Appellant, v. DANIEL GELBMAN, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an order denying an application for a temporary protection order. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Dixie Grossman, Judge.
This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. See Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels Corp., 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from an order denying an application for a temporary protection order. See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may be taken); cf. In re Temp. Custody of Five Minor Children, 105 Nev. 441, 777 P.2d 901 (1989) (stating that no appeal may be taken from a temporary order subject to periodic mandatory review). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
