IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JESSE ANDERSON, No. 72146 Appellant, vs. CONNIE S. BISBEE, Respondent. FILED FEB 1 7 2017 EL!ZABETH A. BROWN CLERK QF SUP'REME COURT 5\ BY BERVIY CL

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a petition to empanel a grand jury. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, Judge.

Our preliminary review of the docketing statement and the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a potential 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 permits an appeal from an order denying a petition to empanel a grand jury. Rather, parties seeking to challenge such orders in this court must do so by filing a petition for extraordinary relief in this court. See

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA en (0) 1941A i7-o5 7 7 1 NRS 6.140 (noting the proper procedure is to "apply" to the appellate court). Because we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
