IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

KIM DENNIS BLANDINO, No. 85072 Appellant, vs. THE HONORABLE MICHELLE LEAVITT, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondent. AUG i 9 2022 ELIZARETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY. DEPUTY CLERK

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se notice of appeal from an order of the district court dismissing without prejudice appellant's presentence petition for a writ of habeas corpus. This court's review of this appeal reveals a jurisdictional defect. Specifically, no appeal lies from an order dismissing without prejudice a presentence petition for a writ of habeas corpus) See NRS 34.724(1) (stating that a person convicted of a crime and under sentence of death or imprisonment may file a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus); see also State v. Lewis, 124 Nev. 132, 178 P.3d 146 (2008) (stating that an order entered before judgment of conviction is intermediate and not generally a final, appealable determination). The right to appeal is statutory; where no statute or court rule provides for an appeal, no right to appeal exists. See Castillo v. State, 106 Nev. 349, 352,

'Appellant filed the petition prior to being sentenced in district court case number C-19-341767-1. 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990). Accordingly, this court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal, and ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.2
