FRANK MILFORD PECK, Appellant, v. WASHOE COUNTY; THE STATE OF NEVADA; RENE ROMERO; WASHOE COUNTY CRIME LAB; AND JEFFREY RIOLO, Respondents.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order denying a motion for written findings and unsealing court records. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Scott N. Freeman, Judge.
Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that 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). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a motion for written findings or unsealing court records. Accordingly we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
