ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se appeal. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.
Review of the notice of appeal and documents before this court reveals jurisdictional defects. First, the notice of appeal is signed by Susan Bucman as attorney for the defendant in the underlying case. However, Susan Bucman is not a Nevada licensed attorney and is therefore unauthorized to file the notice of appeal on behalf of another person. See Guerin v. Guerin, 116 Nev. 210, 214, 993 P.2d 1256, 1258 (2000). A notice of appeal that is the product of the unauthorized practice of law is invalid, and this court lacks jurisdiction to consider it. Id. Further, it does not appear from the documents before this court that Susan Bucman is a party to the underlying proceedings or otherwise appeared in those proceedings.
Even assuming the notice of appeal was properly filed, this court still lacks jurisdiction. The notice of appeal states defendant appeals from an order entered on January 18, 2024. But the district court docket sheet does not indicate that any order was entered on that date. And it does not appear that any appealable order has been entered in the district court. See 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.
