Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

FREDERICK 0. SILVER, No. 77673 Appellant, vs. CANDICE KATIE TOWNER, Respondent. AN ELV/' CLEW Jr CSOURT BY ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL noini - : chapx This is a pro se appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; T. Arthur Ritchie ; Jr., Judge.

Our review of the documents submitted to this court pursuant to NRAP 3(g) reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, the order designated in the notice of appeal is not substantively appealable. See NRAP 3A(b). Although appellant states in the notice of appeal that he is challenging a "decision to vacate or dismiss this case entered in this action on the 4rd [sic] day of December 2018," in fact the order addresses a series of post-judgment filings by appellant, none of which is appealable. After a hearing on October 1, 2018, the district court entered a "Custody Decree" on November 19, 2018, settling child custody. Between the October 1, 2018, hearing and November 29, 2018, appellant filed 18 motions and miscellaneous documents. Those documents include the following: 1. Frederick 0. Silver Notice of Final Warning to Persons With Name: T. Arthur Ritchie, Jr., Jane D. Femiano, Mary D. Perry, Esq.

(0) 1947A 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 the above motions or documents.

Accordingly, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction, and we ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.'
