IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JAMES MARTIN REESE, No. 71549 Appellant, vs. VANESSA WRIGHT, Respondent.

FILED DEC 16 2016 ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a motion for additional discovery and a motion for an order to issue a subpoena.

Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mark R. Denton, 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 for discovery or a motion to issue a subpoena. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
