THE STATE OF NEVADA, Appellant, v. FARID MOHAMMAD ASHRAF, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 an appeal from "Findings of Incompetency and Order for Civil Commitment or Release." Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge. Because it appeared that no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from such an order, on March 17, 2014, we directed appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990).
Having considered appellant's response to our order, as well as respondent's reply, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because no statute or court rule provides for an appeal from "Findings of Incompetency and Order for Civil Commitment or Release." Id. Therefore, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
