ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from a district court order "denying [appellant's] briefing requesting reduction to gross misdemeanor." Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge.
Our preliminary review of the appeal and the documents on file revealed a potential jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appeared that no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from such an order. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). Accordingly, we directed counsel for appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. In response, appellant's counsel states that she "does not oppose the dismissal of the appeal for lack of jurisdiction." Because no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from a district court order "denying [appellant's] briefing requesting reduction to gross misdemeanor," we lack jurisdiction over this appeal and we,
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
