Maysen Melton, Appellant v. The State of Nevada, Respondent
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Appellant has filed a pro se notice of appeal stating that “[the] State Prison has not received State's opp's or, finding facts conclusions of law, in the above matter.” Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tara D. Clark Newberry, Judge.
This court's review of the notice of appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, appellant failed to identify any district court order from which he appeals, and no district court order appears on the docket to which the notice of appeal could apply. See NRAP 3(c)(1)(B). To the extent, if any, appellant's notice of appeal can be construed as challenging the minute order denying appellant's motion for an evidentiary hearing, no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from this decision. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that this court has jurisdiction only when a statute or court rule provides for appeal). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
