IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

GENE ANTHONY ALLEN, No. 81380 Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA; FRANKLIN FILED B. WILKERSON; SADIE SULLIVAN; DAWN BEQUETTE, CANDICE BOYCE; JUL 1 6 2020 AND KATRENA M. MARTIN, ELIZABETH A. BROWN BLE - UP E RT Res ondents. BY CLERK ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL This is an appeal from a district court order denying a motion for appointment of counsel. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson Jr. Judge.

Review of the notice of appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. No statute or court rule authorizes an appeal from a district court order denying a motion for appointment of counsel. See NRAP 3A(b); Brown v. MHC Stagecoach, LLC, 129 Nev. 343, 345, 301 P.3d 850, 851 (2013) (this court "may only consider appeals authorized by statute or court rule").

Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.'
