ORDER DISMISSING APPPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motion
to enforce or show cause regarding contempt for respondent's alleged failure
to pay alimony. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Dixie
Grossman, Judge.
Review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to
NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the order designated
in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b).
This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is
authorized by statute or court rule. 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"). No statute or court rule
provides for an appeal from an order regarding the failure to pay alimony.
Further, a contempt order is not independently appealable. See Pengilly v.
Rancho Santa Fe Homeowners Ass'ri. 116 Nev. 646, 649, 5 P.3d 569, 671
(2000). This court lacks jurisdiction and therefore
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
