Rough Vs. Tapia (Child Custody)

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

CHRISTIAN ROUGH, No. 81973 Appellant, vs. LYNNA FLOR TAPIA, Respondent. FILED 140V 0 t 2020 IA A, BROWN 'PREME CO BY DEPUTY CLERX

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se appeal from an order denying appellant's motions. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, 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 appeal from an order denying a "Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting Substantive Rights," an order denying a "Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting Affirmative Application of Strict Scrutiny Procedural Protections," or an order denying a "Motion for Declaratory Relief Asserting SUPREME Couar OF NEVADA 10) I947A 404. ..07-36 Equal Protection Under the Law." Nor do appellant's motions seek relief other than advisory opinions. Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
