MINORS.

VICTOR TAGLE,

FILED Appellant, FEB 2 4 2016 vs.

STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT

OF FAMILY SERVICES,

Respondent.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order extending a "no contact" order. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Robert Teuton, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, an order extending a "no contact" order 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. a. Hilton Hotels, 100 Nev. 207, 678 P.2d 1152 (1984). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order extending a "no contact" order. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
