IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

PERCY LAVAE BACON, No. 69366 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent. SEP 3 0 2 016 TRACIE K LINDEMAN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL BYS111,,, DEPUTY CLERK This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying appellant's application to proceed in forma pauperis and prohibiting him from filing and serving a complaint in a civil matter on the ground that he is a vexatious litigant. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elizabeth Goff Gonzalez, Judge.

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 permits an appeal from an order denying an application to proceed in forma pauperis and prohibiting appellant from filing and serving a complaint. See NRAP 3A(b). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
