ROBERT GAVIN, Appellant, v. CANDACE HEIDI ROTHMAN; MICHELLE GAVIN; BARRY CAREN; KAREN SILVER; AND GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP/LAS VEGAS, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order declaring appellant a vexatious litigant. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Hon. Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no statute or court rule allows for an appeal from a vexatious litigant order. See Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (explaining that this court may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule); Peck v. Crouser, 129 Nev. 120, 124, 295 P.3d 586, 588 (2013) (providing that vexatious litigant orders are not independently appealable). “[W]rit relief is the appropriate vehicle to review vexatious litigant orders ․” Peck, 129 Nev. at 124, 295 P.3d at 588. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
