DEPUTY RKY
C= "1".111/44
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order awarding
respondent temporary sole legal and physical custody of the parties' minor
children. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson,
Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court
reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule allows an appeal
from a temporary custody order. See 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"); In re Ternporary Custody of
Five Minor Children, 105 Nev. 441, 777 P.2d 901 (1989) (stating that no
appeal may be taken from temporary custody orders subject to periodic
mandatory review); NRAP 3A(b)(7) (allowing an appeal from a district court
order that finally alters custody of minor children). Accordingly, this court
lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
