VALENTIN ANTHONY C., Appellant, FILED VS. OCT 1 8 2019 ELIZABETH C., BROWN .

Respondent. CLERK ME COURT 111, BY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is a pro se appeal from an order denying a motion for the appointment of counsel. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Dixie Grossman, Judge.

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).

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

/9-43vOr appeal from an order denying a motion for the appointment of counsel. This court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.1
