CLERK
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an "Order Re: Affidavit Seeking
Disqualification of Judge." Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County;
Jerry A. Wiese, 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). No statute or court rule provides
for an appeal from an order denying disqualification of a judge. See Towbin
Dodge, LLC v. Dist. Ct., 121 Nev. 5, 112 P. 3d 1063 (2005) (noting that a
SUPREME COURT
OF
NEVADA
z
writ petition is the appropriate vehicle for challenging judicial
disqualification rulings).
This court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.1
