Edwards v. Kierstein ( 2016 )

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
CARL DEAN EDWARDS, No. 70162
Appellant,
vs.
SHIRLEY KIERSTEIN, FILED
Respondent. APR 2 7 2016
TRACE K. LINDEMAN
CLERK,PF SUPREME COURT
BY
DEPUTY CLERK
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order denying appellant's motion for
discovery. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Kimberly A.
Wanker, Judge.
Our preliminary review of the documents submitted to this
court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a potential jurisdictional defect.
Specifically, it appears that the judgment or 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. Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207,
678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from
an order denying a motion for discovery. Accordingly, we conclude that we
lack jurisdiction and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
