Race v. Thueson (Child Custody)

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JOHN LAWRENCE RACE, No. 69379 Appellant, vs. AMY LOUISE THUESON, Respondent.

FILED MAR 0 it 2016 TRACIE K. UNDEMAN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY DEPUTY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from an order issued after a status check in a divorce and child custody action, setting child support, granting appellant access to the child's medical information, and allowing for appellant to file a motion for visitation if he chooses. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Cheryl B. Moss, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the 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 merely setting child support, granting access to medical information, or allowing for a

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (0) 1947A to -0701 motion for visitation. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'
