IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

CHAD WINDHAM MITCHELL, No. 85489 Appellant, vs.

CARSON CITY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, Respondent.

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a pro se notice of appeal from a district court “order denying pretrial 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 denying a presentence petition for a writ of habeas corpus.1 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), overruled on other grounds by State v. Harris, 131 Nev. 551, 355 P.3d 791 (2015). 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
