ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a proper person appeal from an order denying a petition requesting genetic marker testing. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; David B. Barker, Judge.
Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from an order denying a petition requesting genetic marker testing, we lack jurisdiction. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990). Accordingly, we
NRS 176.0918 does not include an express grant of authority to appeal, and no such grant of authority appears in any other statute (such as NRS 177.015, which provides the statutory authority for most appeals in criminal proceedings).
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
