These are pro se appeals from district court orders denying peremptory challenge. Ninth Judicial District Court, Douglas County; Thomas W. Gregory, Judge. Because no statute or court rule permits an appeal from an order denying a peremptory challenge in a criminal matter, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider these appeals. Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990) (explaining that court has jurisdiction only when statute or court rule provides for appeal). Accordingly, this court ORDERS these appeals dismissed.'
