Appellant, vs.

THE STATE OF NEVADA,

LED Respondent.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL IN DOCKET NO. 72260

Docket No. 72054 is an appeal from a judgment of conviction. Docket No. 72260 is an appeal from an order denying a presentence motion for a directed verdict and an order denying a presentence motion for new trial. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Robert W. Lane, Judge.

Appellant has responded to our order of March 1, 2017, in Docket No. 72260 directing her to show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant concedes that no appeal lies from an order denying a presentence motion for directed verdict or from an order denying a motion for new trial. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (the right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists); State v. Harris, 131 Nev., Adv. Op. 56, 355 P.3d 791 (2015) (an order denying a presentence motion for a new trial is an intermediate order that can be appealed from the judgment of conviction). Accordingly,

SUPREME COURT we dismiss the appeal in Docket No. 72260. Appellant may raise issues OF NEVADA based on the presentence motions in her appeal from the judgment of conviction in Docket No. 72054.

We deny the motions to consolidate these appeals.

It is so ORDERED.
