Mulkey v. Cooper

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

MICHAEL DOUGLAS MULKEY, No. 69593 vs. Appellant, WYMAN COOPER, SLED Respondent. FEB 0 1 2016

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motion to extend his prison copywork limit. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lidia Stiglich, Judge.

Our review of the docketing statement and 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 to extend prison copywork limits. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
