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 documents in a civil action against the department of corrections 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 documents. See NRAP 3A(b). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction over this appeal, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
