IN THE MATTER OF K. S., A MINOR No. 78586 KWAME A. S., Appellant, vs. STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT MED OF FAMILY SERVICES, Respondent.

CL BY

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from juvenile court orders entered in an NRS Chapter 432B abuse and neglect action. Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Court Division, Clark County; Robert Teuton, Judge.

In the orders challenged in this appeal, the juvenile court placed the subject minor first in a licensed foster home and then with an unlicensed relative, and maintained a permanency plan goal of reunification. Because a final order has not been entered by a district court establishing or altering custody of the minor child, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal. See NRAP 3A(b)(7) (authorizing an appeal from an order "that did not arise in a juvenile court that finally establishes or alters the custody of minor children"); In re A.B., 128 Nev. 764, 769,291 P.3d 122, 126(2012) ("[B]ecause the lower court's order arises from a juvenile proceeding and concerns child custody, it is not substantively appealable under NRAP 3A, and therefore, [the] only remedy
