IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

IN THE MATTER OF THE No. 72834 GUARDIANSHIP OF L. R. V., MINOR WARD.

NICOLE H., Appellant, FILED vs. THOMAS V.; AND BRENDA V., Respondents.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a district court order approving and adopting the guardianship commissioner's report and recommendations that denied appellant's petition for visitation with the child. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elizabeth Goff Gonzalez, Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, it appears that the 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). NRAP 3A(b)(7) permits an appeal from "[a]n order entered in a proceeding that did not arise in a juvenile court that finally establishes or alters the custody of minor children." The order appealed from does not establish the custody of the minor child, rather it denies the petition for visitation. No alternative

SUPREME COURT Or NEVADA

(0) 1907A e statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a petition for visitation. Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'
