MARK LEONARD SHARP, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order appointing postconviction counsel and denying a request for judgment on the pleadings. Sixth Judicial District Court, Humboldt County; Michael Montero, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from a district court order appointing postconviction counsel and denying a request for judgment on the pleadings. 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). To the extent that appellant appeals in regard to the postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus, no decision, oral or written, had been made on the petition when appellant filed his appeal on April 24, 2017. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
