ROBERT SCOTLUND VAILE, Appellant, v. CISILIE VAILE PORSBOLL, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal from an order "consolidating judgments and other relief." Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Cheryl B. Moss, Judge.
Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically the judgment or 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. Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). Moreover, "[t]his court has consistently looked past labels in interpreting NRAP 3A(b)(1)," and determines the appealability of an order "by looking to what the order or judgment actually does, not what it is called." Valley Bank of Nev. v. Ginsburg, 110 Nev. 440, 445, 874 P.2d 729, 733 (1994). Here the order appealed from consolidates a series of judgments previously entered against appellant and requires appellant to begin making payments. No statute or court rule allows for an appeal from such an order. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
