IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

MICHAEL DOTY, No. 69189 Appellant, vs. TONYA DUBIN, FILED Respondent.

JAN 21 2016 TRACE K. LINDEMAN CLERKAIF SUPREME COURT BY • Vf DEPUTY CLERK ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from an order extending a temporary protective order. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Denise L. Gentile, 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(4. 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.
