IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JAVIER RAMIREZ RIVAS, No. 73912 Appellant, 11.11A AHH11„.. HitilltHHHHH : FILED Respondent. SEP 2 5 2017 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL By cv, \air DEPUTV- Cir4 This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motion for an order to show cause to hold respondent in contempt. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, 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 of contempt. See Pengilly v. Rancho Santa Fe Homeowners Ass'n, 116 Nev. 646, 649, 5 P.3d 569, 571 (2000) (recognizing that a contempt order is not appealable). Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
