IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

BRIAN EUGENE LEPLEY, No. 70734 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, FILED Respondent. AUG 1 9 2016 CIE K

RK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motion to consolidate. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Rob Bare, 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(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 consolidate. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
