BRYAN PHILLIP BONHAM, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA; NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; DIRECTOR JAMES DZURENDA; AND BRIAN WILLIAMS, SR., WARDEN, Respondents.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an order granting a motion to set aside a default judgment. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; William D. Kephart, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals a jurisdictional defect. An order granting a motion to set aside a default judgment is not an independently appealable order. See Estate of Adams v. Fallini, 132 Nev. 814, 818, 386 P.3d 621, 624 (2016). 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 permits an appeal from an order granting a motion to set aside a default judgment. This court lacks jurisdiction and
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
