IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

RONALD FERLINGERE, No. 69027 Appellant, vs. MA IMEE BURKHOLDER, FILED Respondent.

JAN 1 2 2016 TRACIE K. LINDEMAN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY _Size-4.Sk_ DEPUTY CLER ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order extending a protective order against domestic violence. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Connie J. Steinheirner, Judge.

Our preliminary 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 extending a protective order. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
