Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION No. 77407 OF THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS.
FRANK MILFORD PECK, FILED Appellant, MAR 2 1 2019 vs. ELIZABETH &Rom THE STATE OF NEVADA cum Of SUPc4tENIE COURT DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, . EY Cifrie- 1-022 DEPUTY Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from a district court order granting in part a petition to compel production of biological specimens and from an order denying a motion for findings of fact and conclusions of law. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.
Review of the notices of appeal and documents before this court reveals jurisdictional defects. First, appellant is not aggrieved by the order granting in part the motion to compel. See NRAP 3A(a) (allowing an appeal by an aggrieved party). The order permits the collection of specimens from two specific inmates other than appellant. Second, the order does not appear to be substantively appealable as a final judgment under NRAP 3A(b)(1) because it does not address respondent's request fir an order allowing the collection of specimens from all "uncooperative" inmates at High Desert State Prison, Southern Desert Correctional Center, and Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center. And no other statute or court rule appears to authorize an appeal from the order. See Brown I).
MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this SUPREME COURT court "may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule").
OF NEVADA (0) 1947A e9 /41-1270 Although appellant suggests in his docketing statement that the order is appealable under NRS 12.130(c),' NRCP 24, 2 NRS 12.130(1)(a), 3 NRCP 56(d), 4 and NRAP 3A(b)(3), 5 none of these statutes or court rules allows for an appeal from the order. Third, no statute or court rule allows an appeal from an order denying a motion for findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED."
