IN THE MATTER OF: S.K., A MINOR DAVID A.K., SR., Appellant, v. STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY SERVICES, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 proper person appeal from a district court order denying a "petition for writ of error coram nobis for denial of right to appeal" in a juvenile abuse and neglect proceeding. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Robert Teuton, Judge.
Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. This court has jurisdiction to consider an appeal only when the appeal is authorized by statute or court rule. See Taylor Constr. Co. v. Hilton Hotels Corp., 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). As no statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from the challenged order, it is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b) (listing orders and judgments from which an appeal may be taken); see Matter of A.B., 128 Nev. ___, ___, 291 P.3d 122, 126 (2012) (recognizing that an order arising from a juvenile proceeding involving child custody under NRS chapter 432B is not appealable under NRAP 3A(b)(7)). Because we lack jurisdiction to consider this appeal, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
