IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

HAROLD EDWARDS, No. 73456 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent. FILED OCT 1 6 2017 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK F S PRIME COURT BY • DEPUTY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from "the Court of Appeals Order of Affirmance." Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Valerie Adair, Judge.

Our review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule permits an appeal from an order of affirmance of the Court of Appeals. See NRAP 40B(a) ("A decision of the Court of Appeals is a final decision that is not reviewable by the Supreme Court except on petition for review"); Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). To the extent that the document can be construed as a petition for review of the Court of Appeals order filed on June 9, 2017, in Docket No. 71037, it was untimely filed. See NRAP 40B(c) ("A petition for review of a decision of the Court of Appeals must be filed in the Supreme Court within 18 days after the filing of the SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (0) 1947A en 1-352415.- Court of Appeals' decision under Rule 36, or its decision on rehearing under Rule 40"). Accordingly, we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
