ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se' appeal from an order denying appellant's "Motion to Reopen Case, to Extend Period to Serve Defendants and to Stay this Case Pending Appeal." 2 Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michael Villani, 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 lAppellant filed the notice of appeal through counsel Jared Richards of Clear Counsel Law Group. Appellant then filed a case appeal statement in pro se, informing this court that he is a licensed Nevada attorney in good standing with the State Bar of Nevada and explaining that he intends to proceed in pro se in this appeal. Accordingly, the clerk shall remove Jared Richards and Clear Counsel Law Group as counsel of record for appellant, and appellant shall proceed in pro se. See NRAP 46(e).

2Based on our review of the documents before this court, we direct the clerk of this court to amend the caption in this appeal to conform to the caption on this order.
