IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

RICHARD LEE CANTERBURY, No. 76608 Appellant, vs. CLARK COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, ALE Respondent. 4 2018 SEP Ela<911 - ; k BROWN JPRE COURT

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL BY/ 13E.i:, :ilre CLERK

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion for the appointment of counsel. Fifth Judicial District Court, Nye County; Kimberly A. Wanker, 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. BrownS v. MHC Stagecoach, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013). No statute or court rule provides for an appeal from an order denying a motion for the appointment of counsel. We conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we therefore ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'
