IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

COURTNEY MADISON, No. 80812 Appellant, VS. THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED Respondent.

APR Ø 9 2020 ELI TO BROWN F S REME COURT ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL BY DEPLITf CLERK

This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a pretrial motion to suppress statements and an order denying a pretrial motion to sever. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michael Villani, Judge.

This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect.

Specifically, no statute or court rule allows a defendant to appeal from an order denying a pretrial motion to suppress statements or an order denying a pretrial motion to sever. See NRS 177.015(2) (only the State may appeal from a pretrial order granting or denying a motion to suppress evidence); Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 792 P.2d 1133 (1990) (the right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists). Accordingly, this court ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
